A few weeks ago, we decided to check up on Brazilian artist Bruno 9Li, who we last featured in our July 2009 Brazil Issue. We knew that Bruno's work looked like a fantastic acid trip of both folk imagery mixed with psychedelic characters, but it is Bruno's work from the past two years, with incredibly surreal abstractions and custom reoccuring figures that have been the artist's strongest work to date.

Raudiel Sañudo is a Mexican artist with a background and studies in graphic design. His folk work plays with Mexican popular culture and also includes contemporary elements and iconography. Part of his early works are reminiscent of the famous votive paitnings in Mexico.

We have shown the work of Los Angeles-based artist Deedee Cheriel in the magazine and on the site before, but never a profile of a grouping of work. And why not today we ask? We have always enjoyed the Pacific Northwest influence mixed with animal imagery in Cheriel's work, and this series of works only strengthens that admiration. She is currently showing in Unnatural - Natural History at the Royal West of England Academy.
