When Hieronymus Bosch passed away August 9, 1516 his artistic spirit was separated from his soul as it ascended into heaven (god granted him passage for his amazing paintings). Trapped on earth his artistic spirit traveled many places and one of those was within the artwork of Mia Makila (<— check out her website).
Mia’s work is captivating to say the least. It is grotesque, elaborate, raw, detailed, piercing, colorful, and dark all at once. That is just what I see (and I like it), what do you think? Here are some of her most appealing (or repelling) works in my opinion:

Ernest Concepcion is a BBC artist, that is an artist whose work is Badass, Brutal, and Creative. His drawings are filled with so much content that one can get lost in them even from a computer screen. I would absolutely love to see his work live to truly appreciate his taste for detail.
Here is part of his artist statement pertaining to his Line Wars Series (images below):
From tables vs. chairs to cowboys vs. aliens and cookies vs. milk, The Line Wars began as a series of over 100, 9×12 inches, ink drawings that emerged from sketches and doodles–the most rudimentary expression of visual thinking. The images are based on the entertainments of childhood and adolescence: Video games, action figures, strategy board games–always two forces opposing one another. The Line Wars is a celebration of making impulsive, nonchalant drawings, as well as a personal journey into nostalgia and an homage to geekdom.
Here are some other artworks of Ernest’s:
Additionally, here is a link with some images of one of Ernest’s most recent collaborations.
