1. Artist: audrey*kawasaki
I have a thing for Japanese artists.
Not sure where it comes from but, I'm a fan.
I found her from watching this YouTube video of Christina Perri (singer of "Jar of Hearts" & "A Thousand Years") getting a tattoo form Kat Von D. I am a big fan of both of those artists also. The tattoo she got was a work of Audrey Kawasaki.
Bio From Her Site:
The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.
The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes.

This is my favorite piece. It's called "Two Sisters".
For me I see it as a yin & yang image representing the inner struggle of the same person. By her title I am not sure if that was the artists intention for this piece, but that is what rocks about art. It can be whatever you want it to be. Love, love, love...
