adorable illustrations of animals by Erica Il Cane. show up at Fifty24SF Gallery.

A little about Erica:

Born and studied in Bologna, Italy, Erica’s evolution to gallery work has seen depictions of animals in unique, human situations rendered in Victorian-like style illustrations, etchings, and short animated films. The art is often described as imagery from a dark fairy tale, in which animals are shown within the darkness of human nature, focusing on themes of alienation, satire, existentialism. Both gallery and mural work has also been hailed as influential works advocating vegetarianism and animal rights.

Haroshi makes his art by recycling pieces of old skateboards. Still an avid skater, its only natural that he began to make are pieces by using old defunct skateboards. To Haroshi, his art pieces are equal to his skateboards, and that means they are his life itself. They're his communication tool with both himself, and the outside world.
