Incredible is the only word I can muster when looking at these amazing works by Solongo Mellecker that dreamily blend traditional Eastern techniques through a modern Westernized looking glass.
Un-effing-real. Color this blogging fool blown away. Thank you Peteski for turning me on to these. What rock have I been living under… Prints start at just 40 bucks, people. Go here now.

In a similar east/west vein, I really love the drawings of Lee Meisenheimer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leestroy
The graphite drawings are really beautiful to behold in person.
Absolutely brilliant use of colour. After reading Solongo’s background, it really becomes apparent how her style reflects a blend of Eastern/Western in both style and theme.
thank u for yet another great post, as usual!
Thanks for a great blog! Are you familiar with the work of Frank Frazetta?
Absolutely. What Molly Hatchet fan isn’t?
