Mickey Mouse against the Worms
Italian artist Vacon Sartirani specializes in all things wormy, sluggy, and grotesque, often interjecting his writhing creatures into more recognizable pop images. His Mickey Mouse against the Worms series re-writes old Disney comics to feature slimy, writhing, faceless monsters.

The dirt and ephemera Paul Hazelton uses in his work suggests the impermanence of all things. The British artist assembles household dust into ghostly figures as if to reassemble to sloughed-off particles of people and things back into their original forms. Read more

I’ve been a big fan of Michelle Vandermeer’s work since I came across her Mini Majellen zines at this year’s Sydney Writers Festival. Describing herself as a doer — as in one of those people who are always doing or making something — Michelle’s work, which includes book binding, illustration, jewelery making and her zines, stems from an internal creative springboard and a double degree in architecture and graphic design.

What’s more, they’ve started a new genre called ‘Aristocrunk’. Watch out!
