Shohei Otomo (discovered via Electric Ant Mag’s blog) is a super talented artist. I’m huge fan of black white and red art, plus the detail in his work is amazing.

Artist Love: Ena
Ena is an illustrator from Japan. She does all of her work on the computer, in fact it was her art that first inspired me to start doing digital illustrations myself. Her girls are luscious and mysterious formed from delicate bezier curves in a stunning monochromatic palette. Pure magic.

Artist Love: Makiko Sugawa
Makiko Sugawa is a Japanese illustrator whose highly detailed line drawings are both playful and provocative. She has a way of effortlessly mixing the two qualities with an end result that makes you wonder how one ever could exist without the other.
Many of her images feature women with prosthetic or amputated limbs, this a reflection of the artist’s real life, as Makiko herself has a prosthetic leg. There is a striking contrast of beautiful women dressed in layers of lace and erotic lingerie with the sometimes robotic imagery of a mechanical leg.
The spur of the moment aspect found in her drawings, makes one feel as if we are stealing small glimpses of these ingenues’ romantic and fantastical lives.
