I had never heard of this artist before - very different. The softness of the childlike faces combined with harshness of other images such as the meat in the dress or in other works, blood makes it sort of like an acid trip through Wonderland with Alice.

If you look further there is an assortment of amazing details that further contrasts and conflicts and subliminally agitates, yet makes you want to look at it again.

While I don't think I would want one of the painting on a wall in my home, it would be an interesting piece to display in a public setting and fantastic for a magazine piece as the images do draw you in and make you take a second look.

I love Contemporary art, esp Girly Gothic (is that's what it's called)? I lean toward anything unconventional.

I'm in LA this week, wanna get some coffee and shop till we drop. cause there are just some things I can't find in Japan...

Hi Maegan, I've been reading for a long time, but been too shy to comment. So, here we go!

There's a girl from the Land of Oz who does something a little similar, her name is Akina: http://akina.com.au/
