Art Picks

Should I buy this? I have been spending waaaay too much money on art, but I kinda like this piece. It's by Sylvia Ji. I have seen her stuff at gallery shows and she is based in Sf. Her work is usually too creepy for me but this one seems like I would actually have somewhere to hang it. What do you think? Check out her site here..http://www.sylviaji.com/ and the shop here http://www.theartprint.net/artwork.php?artist=00013 see that spider one? Feel me on the creepy?

Just bought this piece sans the photoshop frame, can't really see the detail but I thought it was dope and had to buy it. It also by a guy that I am a huge supporter of. He is involved in the vinyl toy scene, which brings flashes of 40 year old virgin (I am guilty of owning some of those glass display cases for my figures) but trust me his art is top notch. There is a lot of talent pooling in the underground, I just add to buy this piece and support someone doing their own thing and coming with unique style that really appealed to me. The piece is by Dear Earthling who resides in Seattle. Check him out....http://www.dearearthling.moonfruit.com/
I thought I was going to buy these awhile ago but I never did, what do you guys think? Click on the shop and then the prints will be there, I posted the pics but the links broke so you will have to check them out on your own. They are by Stella Im Hultberg, check her out right about....here http://momomoogie.com/
I am also really digging Amy Sol, She doesn't have prints and I can't afford an original but her work is just amazing, maybe when I am a grown up I can cop a piece.
Check out more of her stuff here, http://www.amysol.com/

Ok I have realized that I like art with girls in it, well I guess one of the things I posted has hummingbirds, so i like hummingbirds and girls. Is that wrong? Check out Audrey Kawasaki, kinda along the same path as Sylvia Ji, some of her stuff creeps me out, but I like a lot of her stuff too.
Enough with the girls I guess, this is some stuff from Doze Green's recent show in Ny at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. Doze is way outta my price range, but I bought some "Art" posters a couple years back, haha they will have to do I guess, check out some of his recent work. This guy has been holding it down forever Rocksteady Represent!!! Be sure to click on these and check out the full size photos, much more quality.
Check out his site, it's hella old but it has a lot more of his work there. check in the gallery, I like his work from 2002 http://www.dozegreen.com/

Anyone that really knows me, knows that I am a big Sam Flores fan. Soooo can't talk about art without showing some of his stuff, these are from his last solo show in philly at the lineage gallery

Here is his site http://www.samflores.com/ and here is his blog http://samflores-12grain.blogspot.com/

In the same crew as Sam, while kinda same crew, both are living in SF and work a lot with Upper Playground, is Jeremy Fish. His stuff is more cartoony but it still appeals to me. Check it out below (These are prints and drawings)
You get the gist of his stuff right?
I like some of buffmonster's work too, why? Because pink is gangsta that's why!!!

I kinda like Ogi, he is from Japan


I was thinking about picking this up too (Link broke just check the link and see his stuff), it's from deviant art, by some guy in switzerland or something. Don't really know who he is but his stuff is pretty good. http://moodswing08.deviantart.com/gallery/

Is this one too geeky? Like an anime geek type scroll thingy (Picture isn't showing click his link)?
