Super person of the week: Audrey Kawasaki

Audrey Kawasaki is well  known for her portrayals of young, beautiful girls in a very distinctive style that has been described as a fusion of Manga and Art Nouveau. Generally using oil on wooden canvas, her paintings strike as dreamy, delicate imagery that live in a world of their own. She's  had her work published in a few books, designed book covers, gelaskins and has had more exhibitions than I could count.

Her online journal is frequently updated with pictures of new work, pieces in progress and information about shows.

Super person of the week: Sam Flores

Heavily influenced by his graffiti background, Sam Flores' current fine art work is instantly indentifiable. Working with canvas, walls, furniture, vinyl toys, clothing lines and skateboard desings, he has estabilished his place in the modern art movement in San Francisco along the likes of Jeremy Fish, Mike Giant and Shepard Fairey. Something in the water, they say...
