A work in stained glass by Judith Schaechter.
Medeline von Foerster holds hands with the future in this wonderfully composed painting, The Promise.
Shown above is Coelho, by artist Deveras. “Coelho” is Portuguese for “rabbit” and insanely famous author. This is my pick for The Best of the Best Moleskin Art of 2009.
A pair of large paintings by Morris Molino, titles unknown. You may notice that I flipped the image on the left, which is probably a very bad thing to do. I just thought they made a better couple that way.

Oh look. It’s a dollar sign made out of bullets. How clever! The artist must be making some kind of statement. Humm… I know! It’s about the connection between money and warfare. Do you get it? Do you fucking get it!?
Shown Not Shown above: Joe Gee’s Explorations. Gee has another sculpture with the word “PEACE” spelled out in bullets. Hahahahaha oh the irony!
Another image after the break.
Shown above is a panel from La Bête à Cinq Doigts (The Beast with Five fingers) by Swiss illustrator and comic book artist Thomas Ott. Click on the link below to view the full sequence.

Siberian artist Marina Bychkova takes the inherent creepiness of realistic dolls to a whole new level with her tiny porcelain creations. Her “Enchanted Dolls” feature ball-joints and tattoos and anatomically correct private parts.
