Spotlight: Violet Paint

The wonderful work of Christina Piras!

Another blog to shine the spotlight on! Recently I found my way to Violet Paint, the blog of Christina Piras, an Italian painter. Christina's work is very crisp and clean - something I've always strived for with my painting - and her more recent works have some pretty cool colors modulations - something I've been messing around with at times.

Most of Christina's blog is a repository of her finished work, and as such it makes a great "reference library" to draw inspiration from. I heartily urge you to check it out.

Cheers

Spotlight: Gardens of Hecate

The Morbid Homunculus, by Nightmare, groundskeeper of the Gardens of Hecate

Over the last few months I've stumbled across a few dark corners of the blogosphere that are full of wondrous treasures, exciting works from minds twisted in some way (a good way), crazy things that more folks should see. So, I think when I have a spare moment here and there, I'll link to them from a Spotlight post, this one being the first.

I urge you to strap on your Blanchitsu goggles and take a stroll through the Gardens of Hecate, still in their springtime, but already ripe with wonderful fruit, and the promise of more to come.

I have a few more Spotlights planned, so keep your eyes peeled.

Cheers
Dave
