It’s almost Halloween time and today I have the second part of my Halloween special for you. I have been a big fan of Natalie Shau’s works for a long time and her works are extremely surreal, dark and there is always a twist with her fairytale image.

Berto Martinez: Admiration Through Illustration

Berto Martínez is an portrait illustrator who has caught my eyes recently. The reason I really like his works is because of the composition of the elements. Each piece contains several images of different people and somehow he manages to put them together nicely to creates a piece of stunning art work.

Kerstin zu Pan - Art is for the brain.

I fell in love with Kerstin zu Pan photography works when I first saw her Milky Way editorial. Her photography style is very unique as some of her ideas are very random but she makes them work very well. If I need to use 3 words to describe her works, I will use edgy, bold and surreal.
