Satirical and sexually charged comic art by Tina Lugo
I’ve found her work to be incredibly satirical, sexual, and often quite creepy. Comic, TV and other various pop culture characters are thrown into peculiar situations, generally ending on a sexually covered satirical note.

My new body of work is concerns beauty and dealing with looking and being looked at. Five out of twenty six paintings are finished as I aim for a particular narrative within the series as a whole. Read more
Edward Kim’s Basketball art series
I’ve found his paintings to be utterly spiritual. In particular, his basketball body of work. The work deals with ritualistic ceremonies that are causally present within each sporting event; alongside the idolization of particular sport players or items.
Lisa Fiore’s work is subtlety conceptualized and incredibly painted, offering a calm, clean and neatly designed image, while also possessing haunting, conceptual ideas. She works within still life and landscape narrative. Read more

Abounding with references to the natural world and its corresponding rhythms, Australian artist Eleanor Yap creates the most incredible tapestry-like drawings. Yap’s rorschach-styled images, through their soothing symmetry and allegiances to nature, really seem to put the mind at ease somehow, despite their intense density and lively colors. I must say I was truly disappointed in discovering that her online shop is at this time closed! Sigh.

The Presets are a Sydney-based electronic duo, consisting of Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes. In September 2005 they released their debut album, Beams, to positive critical response. That same year Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes also toured with The Dissociatives, which is co-fronted by Daniel Johns of Silverchair and Australian dance producer Paul Mac. Johns also played guitar on Presets single Cookie. Hamilton and Moyes are also members of Sydney instrumental group Prop.

This is your semantics-haggling comment of the weekend:
I have to object to your labeling Tina Fugo’s work as “comic art”, an art form that is characterised by the sequential arrangement of several images. Pictures put together to form a whole, in short. The images display several common tropes of comics (speech bubbles, speed lines, etc.) but are not, in themselves. comic art.
As an aside, I’m also a bit disappointed to see that Fugo continues the Liechtenstein tradition of perfectly capable artists (barely) appropriating comic art and putting their own name on it. I understand the point of doing so once but that point was made 50 years ago, and it’s been used repeatedly since then more as an alibi than as an artistic statement.
The third image from top of this post (the B/W and yellow one) is a great picture by Jack Kirby, mirrored and reformatted by Tina Fugo (rather well, I might say. I like the colour). And yes, it’s originally from a comic book: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7KRlemhadm8/TW_7gbcmhNI/AAAAAAAACqY/4sbrUjaBO6U/s1600/102.jpg
And so, the aside wound up taking more space than the main point, my apologies.
