Jen Mann, a friend from up north in Canada, inspires with her new series “Fera” (Latin origin of feral, we’re interested to learn). Jen paints with grace a harmony between women and wild creatures. Or perhaps this is a common practice in her homeland, but either way, the illustrations are beautiful.
is a printed book series and daily art blog with a focus on experimental, grotesque, and groundbreaking art.

oh..my…god. I LOVE THESE SO MUCH.
not sure how much more “people communing with animals/nature” art i can take in my life anymore.
Who says you have to take it? If it’s not your cup of tea, then turn the page. Don’t complain about it like a 16 year old girl.
is that what 16 year old girls sound like? and since when are we not allowed to express frustration at current trends? this is a blog comment…im not burning books or anything.
i dont mean to come down especially hard on ms. mann specifically, i like the palette and some of the way she renders faces. its just a cumulation of seeing a ton of this kind of work for the past 4 or 5 years, that makes it kind of inauthentic for me. i mean antlers alone, at this point, are so insanely overused, i feel like its someones duty to express frustration at it. plus, its always hipster animals: wolves, bears, deer… come on.
