Us and Them – I <3 Lora Zombie

In the ever-changing world of the art market, kind of a la easy but less crafts focussed, Society 6 is a venue for artists to promote and sell their work.  Not unlike 20×200, but more artist driven than curator driven.  Artists can submit gallery quality art prints (or tshirts, hoodies iPhone cases, iPhone skins, and laptop skins).  Society 6 will reproduce them, sell them and distribute them, while allowing the artist to retain rights over his work.  One format they offer is stretched canvases — and you can imagine my feelings about that.  But there is one project I am particularly excited about.  (I have yet to explore the site thoroughly.  I suspect there are a lot of additional hidden treasure there.)  In conjunction with 23 artists, Society 6 has put out a limited edition zine entitled Us and Them.  (I addition to being offered as a zine, the individual prints can be purchased on the site.)

What first grabbed my attention, was the cover for the zine which features the work of none other than Lora Zombie – the artist behind the depressed superheroes series.  You’ll likely recognize her style at once:

Red Girl by Lora Zombie, available through Society 6

She really just amuses the crap out of me.  Love this print — and unlike the depressed superheroes images this one is still available.  The mini print (10″ x 7″) is $17.68.  Each of the artists included in the book has a distinctly different style, so it’s worth checking them out ad seeing if there’s one you particularly like.

And check out this little painting by kenT youngstrom.  The ground gets its rust color from metal in the paint which does indeed rust when activated.  Cool, huh?!
