The wonderful Lora Zombie was featured way back in 2009 before the infamous server crash (commonly referred to as "BC 2009" - Before the Crash) that some of the original staff writers mention from time to time. Essentially "BC 2009" is when we lost a year's worth of posts due to a server overload from a sudden surge of visitors that brought it down unexpectedly. We love you guys too! And now since we've redesigned and relaunched our site (which we hope you guys like), we're finally bring back Ms. Zombie to share her work with everyone.

Black and white illustrations by Paris based artist Nicolas Delort, personify a classic illustrative style and the grandeur of the stories they tell. His somber illustrations have complemented some epic literary gems like American Gods and Harry Potter.

Kozue Kuroki is a Japanese illustrator that conjures up a surreal fantasy that reveals a dark side of an unusual fetishism. Yet at the same time, this fairytale world portrays soft, soothing elements of petite little girls living in a world of innocence. Sort of like Alice in Wonderland but more strangely beautiful.

Mark Maggiori was previously featured back in August 2011, and I'm excited to bring him back because besides a successful photography career, Maggiori is also a painter...and a damn good one. Today, we feature some of Maggiori's paintings as well as some of his newer photographic works since his last feature.

Svetlana Tiourina is a fine artist originally from Urals, Russia who creates gorgeous oil on canvas panitings. Currently, Tiourina is based out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands where she continues to pump out amazing art.

I guess I wasn't being attentive enough, but when I first saw Scott Radke's pieces, I thought they were paintings rather than actual sculptures, as they are. Radke uses nice earth tones in his sculptural pieces, and sticks to muted color palettes for much of his body of work.

Rosalie Kate Whittingham is an artist based out of Manchester, United Kingdom who is an illustrator and lingerie designer (according to her Behance profile). Whittingham's illustrations and drawings are light, delicate, and clean, only using color to accent and highlight specific sections of the piece.

Don't be alarmed...your morning beverage was not spiked with acid nor did anyone slip magic mushrooms into your breakfast. That is, unless, you consumed either of the two yourself, which in that case, it's going to be a memorable and interesting day! Milan Hrnjazović is an artist from Valjevo, Serbia who creates oil on canvas paintings that are wonderfully trippy.

Urs Fischer is an immensely prolific artist originally from Switzerland who creates both sculptural and installations pieces. Fischer is currently based out of New York where he continues to create amazing art.

Etsuko Miura is a Japanese sculptor that creates frail-looking amputated dolls in bondage. Immediately, they look physically very shocking and in traumatic states, but the craftsmanship in details and the allure of the bizarre embodies beauty within their delicate nature. Check out the original post that was featured back in July 2011.

Previously featured back in June 2011, we bring back artist Marilyn Minter, a personal favorite of mine. We've mentioned it a thousand times in many posts throughout the years, but if any artist has a Wiki page, chances are that the artist in question is legit. Minter is definitely among the the top. Today, we feature Minter's amazing enamel on aluminum paintings...legit, indeed.
