Inside the Femke Hiemstra Sketchbook Insert in Hi-Fructose Vol. 29

Our latest issue, Hi-Fructose Volume 29, hit newsstands and bookstores at the beginning of October and this issue features a special sketchbook insert by Femke Hiemstra. Known for her surreal paintings of anthropomorphized animals, Hiemstra is a deft draftsperson whose high-contrast monochromatic artworks contain a similar mysticism to her color-saturated oil paintings. Illuminated as if by candlelight, the graphite drawings in the sketchbook insert inside the issue are printed on heavyweight sketchbook paper and offer an intimate look at Hiemstra's creative process. Take a look at some of the works in the sketchbook insert and pick up your copy of Hi-Fructose Vol. 29 to see the rest of the work. See more after the jump.
