And in here we find the roots of much of the early Juxtapoz movements. What an amazing looking show going on in the Netherlands at the Museum of Modern Art Arnhem. In the Shadow of Tomorrow: Neo-realism in the Netherlands features an incredible group of works of early neo-realists working before World War II, all working under the guise of a threat of another massive, Europe altering war on the horizon.

Oakland, CA based artist Sean Aaberg follows in the lowbrow tradition of the late great Ed Roth with his own brand of uncanny psyched-out caricatures. Aaberg's cast of characters are equal parts grotesque and goofy, which he renders with meticulous detail -- warts, ooze, rotten teeth and all. Amidst a variety of artistic endeavors, Aaberg also runs Pork Magazine.

Longtime friend Camille Rose Garcia caught up with Richard Colman about his new work, which apparently reminds her of cult rituals. Hearing two amazing artists talk it out with one another is endlessly intriguing.   Read More...

Tim Burton’s new film adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland released this past Friday but our weekend was spend consuming the new book release from Harper Collins of the original Carroll text accompanied by stunning new illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia. The adventure continues tonight when Garcia signs copies of the new book in San Francisco.

As if we weren’t excited enough for the release of Disney x Tim Burton’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland film (due out March 5, 2010) now we hear that one of our favorite artists, Camille Rose Garcia (Juxtapoz #100 and #62), has redesigned the book’s cover for Harper Collins.

It may or may not come as a surprise that Camille Rose Garcia (above left) was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the generic suburbs of Orange County. A youth saturated in visiting Disneyland and going to punk shows some how morphed her into the most charming and disarming little 'anarchist' we could ever picture, as her paintings of creepy cartoon children living in wasteland fairy tales provide critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias. Camille is featured in our upcoming June 2009 Special 100th Issue of Juxtapoz hitting newsstands soon, so get to know the lady behind some of our all-time favorite paintings in our Back Talk feature with Camille Rose Garcia.
