Jakub Gazmercik

“Weed,” by Jakub Gazmercik

JAKUB GAZMERCIK is a hobbyist, once in a while regretting not studying art. He is originally from Slovakia, but he currently resides in Auckland, NZ. When drawing, he usually tries to hide some message (thought, emotion, belief) into his drawings, not making it obvious on the first sight so there may be some space for an imagination of others as well. His work is available at nidraj-rion.deviantart.com

ShirrStone Shelter

“Japanese Snowy OctoBunny LULU, porcelain doll,” by ShirrStone Shelter

SHIRRSTONE SHELTER is a married couple of artists, Olga and Nikolay. Currently, they live and work to St.Petersburg, Russia, where they create a mobile sculpture (ball-jointed doll) from porcelain. All their dolls are only for adults collectors, with some degree of surrealism. The artists strive to create each doll conceptually, full of meaning and content. Through sculpture, plasticity, body language and moods of the dolls, the artists are trying to embody in their works notions about good and evil, truth and lies. Their work is available at sssdolls.com.
