Searching For Art

February 20, 2013 12:58 AM

My husband and i love the works of derek hess, steven kasner, etc. Can you name any other artists that work in the same vein/style/feel? I am also searching for someone who can make me a really beautiful pendant of a cicada. *fingers crossed* Thank you!

Have you checked out Juxtapoz magazine? It seems like they would probably feature an artist or two per issue you'd find interesting. Glancing at the work of Kasner and Hess, I think of guys like Chris Mars, Wayne Barlowe and Dave McKean. Also Clive Barker's drawings, which are pretty interesting even if most of his writing leaves you cold.

Do you have a price point for the cicada, or a particular style? Steven Schall (Xidni Designs) does really beautiful insects but his line is more Art Nouveau and/or enameled. He does do custom work.
