Lisa Vanin‘s paintings combine the natural world with a touch of the macabre, usually through the presence of a snake or a skull or three. Each piece sets a melancholy tone that leaves me wondering more about the circumstances surrounding it all. Don’t miss Vanin’s (super affordable) ceramic snakes or metal pins either.
If you’re at all fascinated with the occult – whether just during the month of October or more – have a look at the work of Tin Can Forest. Canadian artists and publishers Pat Shewchuk and Marek Colek work collaboratively to create art, video installations, films, and books inspired by the the forests of Canada, Slavic art, and occult folklore. Their pieces are darkly beautiful with stories to tell.

Artist Yu Maeda was born in Kumamoto, Japan and now calls Southern California home. Subjects like skulls, knives, brains, and blood usually have a sinister air about them, but Maeda’s brightly colored, gape-mouthed creatures seem way too energetic and happy for any of that nonsense!
Alberto Ortega‘s landscape paintings depict homes and streets where people live their everyday lives, though their presence is only hinted at through parked cars and glowing windows.
As an immigrant to the United States, I am intrigued by American suburban life as depicted in film, literature, and visual art. Through the images I create of American homes, buildings, and man-made environments, I seek to portray society and some of its contradictions. These scenes represent hopes and dreams, the threat of their failure, and alienation. I hope that my paintings set a stage that allows a drama to play out within the viewer.
Jenna Barton – aka Dappermouth – is a Utah-based illustrator passionate about design and animal forms. Her work feels dark, yet hopeful thanks to the frequent presence of animals that are often associated with the mystical – wolves and deer.

Over the past few months I’ve come to the realization that much of the art I find myself drawn towards includes a crossover between reality and memory. Jeremy Miranda‘s acrylic paintings hit the sweet spot, so much so that I’m struggling to put my thoughts into words. I want to walk through the doors of these buildings, sit at the tables, and pickup a paintbrush myself.
Alma Haser was born into an artistic family in the Black Forest, Germany and is now based in London. Known for her complex and meticulous portraits, she creates striking work that expands the idea of traditional portrait photography. Alma takes her photographs further with paper-folding techniques, collage, and mixed media to blur the distinction between 2D and 3D imagery.
Stina Persson‘s bright, bold, occasionally unruly work can be seen in fashion magazines, galleries, and advertising campaigns the world over. I love the way she manages to coax specific details from what could otherwise be considered a very abstract style of work.
Your favorite song, your child’s first words, your wedding vows, the words that have shaped history. Vibrato takes those sounds and turns them into a 30 x 30″ abstract art print, as well as the original 4 x 4″ original inked recording of the sound’s vibration.
We play your sounds beneath specially diluted ink on an optically clear plastic sheet to record their vibrato’s fingerprint. Once captured, the vibrato is manually scanned, enlarged, enhanced and printed on high quality Somerset Velvet – 310 gsm, certified archival paper. Each print is individually hand numbered and signed.
