Can you help me remember the name of this artist?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) September 13th, 2010

I just can not think of it for the life of me, so I hope my description is helpful.
The art is very surreal, usually little girls (more like dolls than real human-looking children) in shocking situations. Sometimes they have nude, adult bodies. Sometimes they are bleeding or being attacked by some sort of monster.
One particular painting that stands out in my memory is done up like a vintage cameo.

Driving me crazy. Anyone know who I’m talking about?

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard no, but those are great. This artist is a painter. I almost want to describe the art as goth. (not the in the classic sense of the word, but more in the dark side sense of the word.)

Man this is going to drive me bonkers. :\

This would be so much easier if I could find a piece of art to show you all.

I know who you’re talking about. It’s a male artist right? I think so. He does wierd as paintings with deers and bunnies. Kinda like the bunny from Donnie Darko but with a cuter face. I will search.

My sister would know but she’s asleep in LA, I’m in Hawaii so it’s still pretty early for me. You’ll get your answer at least by tomorrow, I’ll ask her in the morning and post it. Unless someone else gets it first.

Thank you so much, I feel so much better that you at least know who I was talking about by my pitiful description. :)

Nope, but that is great, too. :)
