I’m trying to remember how I first came across Lawrence Yang’s artwork. I actually think it may have been from stumble upon. I hardly use the app anymore, but I still get the e-mails. It may have been from one of those.
But whatever first led me to his site, I was immediately hooked on the style and quality of the pieces I found there. Whimsical and surreal with a touch of the dark, some of the pieces send a shiver down your spine even as you’re smiling at how cute they are. I love this kind of stuff.
What really caught me though was the quality, and that’s why I keep going back to see more. If you browse around deviantArt you’ll find an abundance of artists “going for” this style, but it’s rare to see it done so well. Yang’s work is impressively clean and reveals a great amount of skill.
I definitely need to get some of this on my walls one day.
You can check out Yang’s website suckatlife.com (because we all suck at life… well, sometimes) for his online store, gallery and blog.
I also enjoy following it’s counterpart blow at life where he posts a photo a day of whatever he’s working on at the moment.
So go check it out already. It’s good stuff. You’ll be glad you did.
