Kansas City based artist Cat Coquillette's illustrations and attitude will remind you to stay strong and look on the very brightest side of…

Michael Hsiung's home is like walking into a museum of strange and incredible objects. Everything in it's right place, everything with it's own story. Assembled among found objects, crystals and thrift store finds is his own artwork: whimsical homages to mythology: mermen and centaurs, animals and bearded skateboarders. The eclectic decor is a pretty accurate representation of the artist himself, a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, a guy with an insatiable…

We sat down with the Italian illustrator to learn more about her life in Rome and about the inspirations behind the incredibly unique approach to her…

She has three rats, was paid $2,000 by a stranger for her thoughts on god and lives entirely on her artistic talent.

And though power through recognition has long been sought after, we are currently living in an age where personal-brand, not talent or skill, is often the highest form of success. The rejection of these pervasive truths make Greek artists Frank Moth pretty punk. Here, S6 artist and film photographer Ben Renschen finds out how the team has been able to reveal who they are through…

Halloween is about to creep up on us so we wanted to learn a bit more about one of our favorite macabre artists, Loll3.

We chat with the Italian artist about her favorite horror movies, Stranger Things (!), and how her own layered personality serves as inspiration for her delightfully weird works. I'm guessing that you love Halloween! What is your favorite costume you've…
