Art is Good For You.

Just thought I'd share some of my personal favourites/some fabulous artistes:


Soo Hong does amazing colourful washy-ish works, she has heaps more at www.soohong.com HURRAH!



This woman, Audrey Kawasaki, is incredible. Her paintings are generally done on wood, and they're kind of a mix of Manga and Art Noveau. She basically wins at life. www.audrey-kawasaki.com


Seriously, wow. Below, of course, is Gustav Klimt, one of the best artists ever to live, not to mention one of the most influential in the 20th century.
ALPHONSE MUCHA: 

Who couldn't love his amazing paintings.. Ok and below are three fabuloso works, but I'm an idiot and can't manage to order them properly so; The first and third (the deer/tree/BUNNY!) and zebra mc stump down there are by Raquel Aparicio.. you can find more on www.raquelissima.com. Truly delicate beautiful works, lots of illustrations for fairytales and whatnot. 
This baby in the middle is by a graphic artist called Lisa Bengtsson. I would KILL for some of the wallpapers she's currently designing. www.lisabengtsson.se

Aha! Now for Moa Lindqvist Bartling (www.moabartling.com). I always have to check how to spell her name. She's amazing and does heaps of fashion-y graphics. Beautiful!

This is by a Spanish graffiti artist called Sixe (sixeart.net), who's incredible. Apparently, "His paintings are divided into three series:
Bad Children with fringe
Circuits
Mutating Animals."
Works for me!
I also tried to put Raphael's School of Athens up but it was HUGE. I'll save it for next time ;)
