// Laura H. Rubin “I want to make the viewers look closer and try to understand what this character might feel.” - @la___aura An iCanvas newbie, we're excited to offer Laura H. Rubin's riveting and unusual perspectives. Favoring clean minimalist aesthetics, Laura H. Rubin’s female portraits are made to be evocative, often coated in black and sometimes including harrowing scenes with animals. And we think her mission is accomplished, as we are easily lured into her subjects at first glance and long to learn more stories behind them. ...

// Frank Frazetta: Night Winds (1978). Oil on canvas board. “Last, but certainly not least, for my Beautiful Bizarre Takeover, I can’t get away without listing my main unrelenting influence during my teenage years. I came across a tiny, probably two by three inch advertisement in a magazine for a book about an artist named Frazetta. I knew nothing of him, but from the powerful impression of that tiny reproduction, I ordered the book. Some six weeks later, the book finally showed up in the mail shortly after I arrived home from school. I can remember to this day, the place I was sitting on my living room floor, the quality of light coming in from the window, as I poured over page after page of this magnificent thing before me printed on paper. I could feel the blood rushing through my veins, the pent-up passion swirling in my head. From this seemingly small event, the world opened up to me. It was the power of his highly personalized language, sheathed around his solid-to-the-core draftsmanship that made Frazetta stand heads above all others in his genre. That genre, for the most part, no longer interests me, but to this day, when I come face to face with his work, I can still feel that surge of adrenaline rapping at my heart.” This is @kentwms’ last post in today’s Social Media Thanks so much for sharing your inspirations with us! ... posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CRQ5qbdhCOA/
