Graffiti by Claudio Ethos.

Without a doubt, graffiti has always been one of the most fascinating art forms. Open expression of personality and vision plastered onto concrete structures for all to see…whether they want to or not. Graffiti artists not only personify raw talent, but artistic rebellion as well. Claudio Ethos is a Brazilian grafiteiro who gives this form of art the perfect touch of eeriness and is completely worthy of our kudos.

The Art of War. Hye-Jung Lee Photography.

Hye- Jung Lee, a South Korean native gives us a dope and eerie narrative in this series.  Intricately combining human and artificial images within what appears to be a fairy tale.  Each image in Lee’s narrative is accompanied by a tactical phrase from Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”, setting a harsh contrast to each piece. Lee brings her doll to life with enormous blue eyes and perfect features, placing her in awesomely creepy scenarios characterizing a very different type of battlefield. Check it out!

Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.
