Camille Rose Garcia

Camille Rose Garcia was born in 1970 in Los Angeles, California and grew up in the generic suburbs of Orange County, visiting Disneyland and going to punk shows with the other dissenchanted youth of that era. Her paintings of creepy cartoon children living in wasteland fairy tales are critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias. Creative influences include Phillip K. Dick, William Burroughs, Henry Darger,Walt Disney, as welll as politically aware bands like The Clash and Dead Kennedys. Her recent solo show, Ultraviolenceland, explored ideas of violence and empire.
Her work has appeared in Flaunt Magazine, Rolling Stone, Juxtapoz, and Paper Magazine, among others. She currently lives in Los Angeles.

Watch out for this up and coming contemporary artist! Her work reminds me of a darker version of Alice in Wonderland.
Her lines are very fine and impeccable! The best gothic cartoon style paintings I have ever seen. Enjoy!

Paris Fashion Week - Spring/Summer 2009

Although these looks were shown in October during the Paris Fashion Week, I admit to not have posted much during that very month. So, I felt that it was my duty to show some of my favorite looks from that week (specially since it was one of the most important weeks of the fashion year) even though its been a while since they came out, Im sure they will stick around for long.

Andrea Klarin-Grace Jones

It would take a bold and confident photographer to work with Ms Grace Jones – she of the panther like qualities and iconic outlandish style! What seems almost impossible was made possible by photographer Andrea Klarin. Klarin seems to have created not only a working relationship with Ms Jones but also a truly collaborative experience with startling results. See for yourself!
