It's a shame I missed the opening of the exhibition in Second Life Oh, who am I kidding; I really do avoid concentrations of people; that's one third computer limitations and two thirds wetware issues. So now is a perfect time to go, from my point of view. And if it's not still there - well, then it's time to look at her photostream.

There's one more example immediately below, selected because it's themed for this blog. Nonetheless; some of her most powerful images are urban landscapes dominated with swirls of colors in high electronic impasto. Stunning work and absolutely worth a Second Look.

Varla Dane explores WilliePunk genre

Varla Dane is an inspired uber-retro comic strip that harks back to the fetish artists of the 1920's, (Such as John Willie) complete with an analog interface steeped in crackle-finish and smelling faintly of ozone and presented in glorious black and white.

And yes, there are t-shirts and posters. :) Not enough-but well worth a look. Permalink to full story.
