I had a chance to see this guy's work in Miami in the early 2000's and was struck by the incredible detail (almost microscopic) in his elaborate sculptures of monochrome, miniatures. There is really no way to do his work justice with descriptions, but if you get a chance to see it in person, you will be in a trance when looking at the tiny and fascinating elements in each piece.
Check out the link for his site for more details and news. Always dope!
JESSE HAZELIP
Jesse Hazelip is an artist I first saw in magazines like Juxtapoz and street art websites, but have since seen in person. Though the subject matter seems obscure at first, he is heavily interested in the idea of extinction and past cultures dying out. He honors them with abstract forms of World War II planes attached to buffalo and heron forms best described by the artist here:
"The work is actually about life and the decisions we make throughout. There are remnants from the past that include death, and we should reflect upon them. But I’m hoping that people come out of this thinking about how we can learn from our mistakes and make this journey more pleasant. We only have a short time in our lives to be active and make a difference. I think we should focus our energy collectively to make this short existence meaningful."
