James Riches by Lost At E Minor
Some beautiful work from Melbourne based artist James Riches who manages to effortlessly cover his vibrant story book narratives with a darker and somewhat ethereal coating. “I'm curious about those moments when we slip through the crack in reality into a different place. So often in our day to day life we are denied the pleasure of fantasy by the constraints of work, deadlines, commitments and our urge to seek logic in the illogical”, he says. It's like eating candy floss with a mild chili topping.

Sex In Art
We love the way Australian-based website Sex In Art takes a healthy peek at all things arty and well…sexual. There's some beautiful illustration work up there and some evocative photography. Heck, we're getting a little hot under the collar just thinking about it. While most of the work they feature is work friendly, some of it isn't. Still, it's worth more than a casual...
