Beautiful/Decay The late Dr. Jack Kevorkian, known for his life’s work of advocating assisted suicide and for helping to end over 130 lives with his ominous-sounding Thanatron, or “machine of death,” was also an oil painter. The doctor, who spend 8 years in prison, created a little-known body of work tinged with the horror of pain; illustrating his controversial ideas on compassion, the paintings take aim at his religious critics and appeal to a nuanced moral ideal where death is seen simultaneously as a terror and an escape. Kevorkian’s Thanatron takes its name from the ancient Greek personification of death; in his paintings, he also uses mythological themes. In “Fever,” he illustrates a hell composed of the ill and suffering; like Dante’s Virgil, he leads his painted patient through the depths of agony and fear with wide, sweeping brushstrokes. The Christian Brotherhood is reimagined as a monster characterized by multiple grotesque, sharp-toothed heads vaguely reminiscent of Inferno’s Satan.
I love ILLUSTRATION Illustration Rally Hello all and welcome to another one of our trademark artist features where we get to dish the love over the latest up and coming illustrators, we really do have some great artists here on the Rally and our latest feature is no exception as well. Luka Va from the beautiful Lithuania now living in the equally but differently beautiful Melborne is a great breath of fresh air with her unique characters and cheeky animals. Luka has a great sense of composition and how many elements to include in a piece and this as much as her subjects is a defining feature of her work. You can tell Luka draws a lot, she has some great stylistic choices to her work that give her a shortcut into delivering a unique narrative feel. she uses exactly what she needs where she needs to give a great uncomplicated delivery that can't help but to charm the viewer and bring them into her world. Who are you: (It is probably one of the most philosophic questions...) My name is Luka Va. What do you do: I draw animals.

In my mind I see it as an artist creating a jigsaw puzzle in their head without the photo on the box to guide them. One such master is Nancy McCabe, a surface designer from Chicago who runs No Ocean, a design studio that specializes in surface designs and prints. She sells her patterns for commercial uses such as fashion, home/interior, print and web design, as well as a beautiful series of graphic scarves. For Nancy’s wallpaper we decided to go with her Ink Dots pattern. 1280×800 • 1440×900 • 1680×1050 • 1920×1200 • 2560×1440 • 3840×2400 • iPhone 5 • iPhone 6 • iPhone 6+ • iPad It’s always fun visiting with old friends. 1280×800 • 1440×900 • 1680×1050 • 1920×1200 • 2560×1440 • 3840×2400 • iPhone 5 • iPhone 6 • iPhone 6+ • iPad I feel you Emory.
