✖ Via Nick Veasy: “Running Skeletons”, 1189mm x 841mm, edition of 5, C-Type print / Diasec
“A man with x-ray vision, Nick Veasy creates images that show what it is really like inside. Nick’s work with radiographic imaging equipment takes the x-ray to another level. everyday objects are transformed from the banal to the beguiling and the layers and the make-up of natural items are shown in fantastic detail.”

✖ Via California is a place: Honey Pie still photography by Zackary Canepari

About the Honey Pie project:

Her lips are full pink. Her teal green eyes are intense and inviting. Her black eyeliner accentuates her high cheekbones and her strawberry hair complements her light African skin. Her metallic halter dress holds her supple thighs and pushes on her round breast. She is the result of careful attention and workmanship. When you see her up close, you can’t help but stare. At $6000, she’s certainly not a cheap date. For creator Matt McMullen, she’s a work of art. For everyone else, she’s a Real Doll.

California is a place also produced a video of their visit to the Real Doll factory. Read an interview with Matt McMullen over at the MONK Magazine. Visit the official website of Real Doll and learn more about those on wikipedia.

California is a place is produced, directed, and shot by Drea Cooper & Zackary Canepari. Full credit for the Honey Pie project :

✖ Via Pasa La Vida: Jean-Jacques Lequeu
“Jean-Jacques Lequeu (Rouen, September 14, 1757 – 28 March 1826) was a French draughtsman and architect. […] He spent time preparing the Architecture Civile, a book intended for publication, but which was never published. Most of his drawings can be found at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Some of them are pornographic and are kept in the Enfer of the library.” (wikipedia)

✖ Via National Galleries of Scotland: Edith Rimmington, “The Decoy”, oil on canvas, 35.50 x 30.50 cm, 1948
“Rimmington combines beautiful and disturbing elements in this painting, which is an important example of Surrealist art by a female British artist. The work shows the artist’s interest in metamorphosis, featuring stages from a butterfly’s life cycle. The species depicted can all be found in Britain. They are, clockwise from the top right, the Ringlet, Peacock, Wall Brown and Red Admiral butterflies. The exquisitely painted butterflies contrast with the more disquieting imagery of caterpillars emerging from the exposed palm of the hand. The veins inside the hand and wrist have been transformed into curving plant tendrils.”

About Edith Rimmington:

“Rimmington was born in Leicester and joined the British Surrealist Group in 1937. She exhibited regularly with the Surrealists and practiced automatic writing and drawing, with some of her poems appearing in Surrealist publications. Rimmington’s paintings are noted for their delicacy and the precise application of paint.”

✖ Via Pasa La Vida: Julia Randall, “Lick Line 20”, colored pencil on paper, 16 x 12, 2002 [click for hi-res]
“Lick Line is a series of mouths floating in space and rendered in exacting detail. Aiming to seduce, glistening and salacious tongues poke out and beckon the viewer to come close. Seen as a group, the tongues undulate and bounce. Like many voices talking at once, they invade our space with eroticism, strangeness and perverse possibility.” (press release : Julia Randall: Going Solo)

More of her drawings over at the Jeff Bailey Gallery.
