Rodrigo Dada - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Rodrigo Dada is a photographer based out of San Salvador, El Salvador. "Vortex" is a project about personal crisis and the human ability to regenerate, to rise from our ashes. Through the absurd, I explore the contemporary world, to find meaning in the meaningless, through the irony I aim to bring awareness about alienation. I reflect on absurd situations between people and objects in everyday life. The struggle to reach a balance and find meaning."

Ren Hang Part III

Ren Hang - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Ren Hang is a pretty damn raw Chinese photographer that really has no limit or censorship to his visual poetry. He'll portray his naked friends in deranged obscure sexual positions with other sensually posed buddies against beautiful landscapes. Either way, he is bad ass and we've missed him. The images featured on here are toned down so go to his website for more crazy shit.

Steve Johnson - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Steve Johnson is an illustrator based out of San Francisco. "One of my objectives as an artist is to bridge conflicting views by revealing shared concerns and common ground. The basic desire to find and maintain security, whether in a home, job, or relationship, in a forever shifting landscape, can create more losers than winners. Using a cast of chickadees, rats, and hummingbirds, my current work navigates the gray areas and middle grounds inhabited by animals with competing interests."
