laurie lipton's hand drawn realism
Laurie Lipton is an underrated master of the hand-drawn perspective. She uses sick detail and intensive techniques to produce cartouche laden Gigeresque scenes of epic creep factor, often with skulls (in the style of Jose Guadalupe Posada), masks, themes of people, and watching. Her recent volume 'The Extraordinary Drawings of Laurie Lipton' (published by beinart) has an in depth interview with the artist, and is afaik her most comprehensive collection in print. A necessity for any psychedelic art library. Rated 666 stars.
