But you’re here anyways…
This will be a shorter email and I’m just gonna be giving one of my favourite artist of late, a little lovin’ on his work…
You think you know what it means to have your retinas assaulted by pure, unfiltered creativity?
Let me introduce you to Warpsol.
A good dude who loves brush pens.
What even is it?
Part robot, part sea creature, part “oh-god-why-did-I-look”
Rust covered metal flesh that’s been marinating in nightmare juice for I dunno, maybe 10 000 years?
Surgical claws that whisper sweet nothings like “hold still, this will only hurt forever”
His work gives me a bit of a lovecraftian vibe and with all of that piss yellow uncanny valley AI turds being pushed into our eyes. Well, this makes life a bit more palatable atm.
And yes, that’s a severed human head dangling from its grip like a keychain from hell. Because why not?
Now this second piece. Jesus Christ on a circuit board…
Imagine someone raided every abandoned tech warehouse from here in England all the way through to Detroit, stacked the findings into a monument to despair, and then, cause subtlety is for cowards, jammed a human face at the bottom.
That face.
It’s seen things. Terrible things. Like your browser history. Like the heat death of the universe. Like every meeting that could’ve been an email.
If you want malevolent energy. This image has it.
And yes. I know I’m committing every email sin by making you click on multiple links and blah blah, but whatever. This is cool art and I’m gonna share cool art.
Also one more link for final measure:

He’s a bit of an oddity when it comes to sharing stuff online (which is how we all feel I reckon) but give him some love and if you’re so inclined grab a print or even an original piece too.
The regularly scheduled shenanigans will resume tomorrow.
