Nicomi Nix Turner. With a name like that, you know destiny would deliver something mystical. I happened on one of her drawings (above) and then went to her website. Sadly, what I saw on her website was work of equal technical talent, but less imagination. This piece hypnotized me wherein she was drawn out of her usual patterns and subjects because she was part of a Beautiful Decay magazine project. BD framed their project thusly:
"Evoking a sense of histories long since passed, fascinations with the paranormal are found not only within its connotations with Surrealism and Dada, but has since found itself increasingly commercialized through a dilution into popular culture.The following artists present an elusive understanding and reflection on mysticism and the occult. Straying from any form of irony, kitsch or inapt nostalgia, their employment of the occult acts instead as a new means of dialogue and spiritual resolve."
