Raymond Lemstra is an artist whose work reflects a deep appreciation for both primitive art and the subconscious workings of the inner mind. He has a very distorted and humorous output of big-headed people with over-emphasized features, full of wonder and turmoil. 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.
A number of new mixed media illustrations by Polish street artist Sepe out of Warsaw who just exhibited with Intoxicated Demons.
Pittsburgh artist Nikki Rosato creates delicate sculptures from carefully dissected street maps, the roads and waterways creating a paper mesh resembling veins and arteries. See more of this sculpture and some of her 2D work after the jump.

At night he transforms himself into Medusawolf and paints quaint little portraits of demons, beasts, and robots – each radiating their own agonizing, pulsating energies. These intensely hued dimensions merge bits of insanity, beauty, and humor and crunch it all down into a fun but very warped output.

First seen here last year, Spanish illustrator Jose Manuel Hortelano-Pi has updated his portfolio with a number of intensely colorful portraits created with a Wacom Bamboo. His series of men holding various objects is also pretty great.
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. It’s going to be extremely difficult to select only 70 artists from all the amazing submissions. 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. Thanks to our sponsor Toyota Prius Projects for working with us to make the Future Perfect book happen and to promote and support new and emerging artists!
Korakrit Arunanondchai’s sculptures, paintings, and installations are full of radioactive color and 3d trickery.
