My friend Drew talks about this guy a lot. He's a fan of that art style.

Attempt at healing a child sick with rickets by pulling it through a “healing tree”, in Uppland, Sweden, 1918

I find Chinese artist Li Cheng Zhong's painting to be really fascinating. There's just something about the shapes, colours, textures... And of course the motifs. I just really like what he's doing.

*appreciates all 4 posts on this page while stroking chin*

I went to The Broad in Los Angeles and discovered one of my new favourite artists, Mark Tansey.

https://scontent.fsan1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...0b&oe=5A26EAAB

I also got to see some of Warhol's chowder soup, Monroe, and Most Wanted Men pieces which was super rad as well. That was all reputation though tbh, I'm not huge on pop art.

Movies are art too, right? I saw this Shirin Neshat's Possessed and really adored the concept, the execution, and above all, the soundtrack, even if it was a little slow. I have to go to art museums more often.

A clip is all that I could find online https://vimeo.com/77076066

But don't be fooled, someone overdubbed most of it with a lame ass Americanized soundtrack. The soundtrack is here

I love this. (Why on earth would they want to replace that with such generic music??) Reminds me a little of Waking the Witch.

Neat stuff.

Max Ernst - The Birdman, c. 1967

The first of the three makes me think of the Nikopol Trilogy - a comic series by Enki Bilal, in which Horus, the Egyptian deity seeks intercourse with a pale, blue haired woman in a future world. There's a weird ass movie too, called Immortel Ad Vitam somewhat following the comics. Not the greatest movie, but I love all comics by Bilal. His drawings are works of art more often than not:

Ooh I'm definitely going to have to read that then; I feel like I've seen his drawings floating around online before, and I've loved all of them (I just never knew what they were from exactly). And I'm always looking for more mythology-related stuff to read.

Just know that he's really a sci-fi cartoonist above all. But he does take a very unusual approach and I love how especially his newer stories feel very surreal and dreamlike. I really need to track down all volumes (two, I think) of Juliet & Roem, which has some lose connections to the Romeo and Juliet story.

^ I've definitely seen that one.

Some guy named Stevie J. Edwards. No good scans of his stuff online, but I like his style.

Shohei Otomo (son of Akira artist Katsuhiro Otomo) makes some really awesome artwork. One of my personal favorite artists.
