Unfortunately not a lot of information on this site, but the art heartbreaking. Rich, warm portraits. I’m buying one of these (as soon as a little cash comes in the door). I’m really curious about how they’re made. They have a real organic feel to them, but the backgrounds look like they might be from photographs. Enjoy, I clicked on every single thumbnail. You should too. byroglyphics
Found via Milky Plastique. New find, nice blog. Seems to have covered a bunch of stuff that we’ve covered at WeAreSharks, but loaded with other goodies too.
Mercedes Helnwein draws better than you do.

Mercedes Helnwein draws in the way that all artists of any medium should be able to draw, but few can. Her technical skill is exqusite, but it doesn’t stop with pencil moves. She draws with a playful sense of humor and a quirky sense of gravity that gives her work that something that keeps your eye engaged. You can’t shrug off her drawings with a single glance. Spend a couple minutes with her journal if you’re in the mood to be either a: inspired or b: impressed.
