Raymond Lemstra is an artist whose work reflects a deep appreciation for both primitive art and the subconscious workings of the inner mind.

We recently got a chance to catch up with Raymond to ask him what he is up to.
Glamorous and unique leather bibs and chest plates by fashion designer Kat Marks. Layers of color, angles, and curves give these accessories an Art Deco slant – set in some sleek distant sexy future. This series of photographs is called The Karass: For Anais (2011) by photographer Paul Hine.

Thanks to all the artists who submitted work to our Future Perfect call for submissions. We had well over 250 submissions for every single state in the US varying in medium from kinetic installations to drawings.

In the next week we will be contacting artists who have made it into the book as well as announcing the grand winner who will get their very own exclusive interview in Beautiful/Decay Book: 6.
