Micha Huigen’s illustrations dissect and reassemble everyday objects into surreal machines. The artist’s work, both in personal and commissioned forms, are marked by elegant and bold linework. Huigen has crafted album art, music videos, magazines, and other editorial work.
On social media, the artist is often forthcoming about experimentation and offers a chance for viewers to offer their own takes on a work-in-progress. “Been wandering off into more weird/ surreal ideas lately,” the artist says of the top piece in this post. “Having a lot of fun with it because the possibilities are endless? What do you guys think? Is turtleman strange, creepy or both? I think he’s pretty friendly.”

On scraps on paper, the drawings of Turkish artist Razi Razavi seem to apparate in a ghostly manner, the artist’s sparse details having both uneasy and captivating effects. Each visage carries its own, private narrative, yet many stare directly into the viewer’s eyes. As you’lll see below, the artist’s practice also extends to painting, yet maintains similar qualities.
In Heather Benjamin's recent work, her "lone cowgirl" character moves through a spectrum of emotions, attitudes, and phases that reflect the complexity of womanhood. She offered several of these new drawings in a show at Tokyo’s gallery commune under the banner "Burden of Blossom."
