Fairy Tales on Acid

Story Time in the Forest. By Misha.

I didn’t read comic books as a kid, but I often lived in a fantasy of my own making. I frequented museum, but preferred Monet to Pollack. I never dyed my hair, pierced my bellybutton or ditched class. I was a very proper, very timid and very good little girl. BUT… as I got older, my tastes expanded. I came to love anime as much as Kundera, Lichtenstein as much as Renoir. While my bellybutton remains untouched, I have had my moments of pink hair. I love tattoos, and don’t have any only because I can never commit to a design for long enough to get one. So when I came across an artist who combines elements of anime, fantasy, tattoos, and straight up funky sexiness, I fell in love with her work. If you haven’t seen Misha’s work before, here’s some of what you’ve been missing.

Shrommy. By Misha.

I swear Miss Shrommy, here, would fit right in hanging out in front of the Chinese Theatre, on Hollywood Blvd. She probably picked up her hat on Melrose. So very L.A.

Hilary and Pals. By Misha.

Hilary and her pals are clearly the children of an illicit affair between the Cheshire Cat and Nemo.

Frogs Tell the Very Best Jokes. By Misha.

Misha’s artwork makes me giggle, in the very best way – pure pleasure!

I’ve actually had the opportunity to meet Misha. She’s absolutely delightful – humble, talented and a completely, fabulously and delightfully unique individual.

What more could you want from an artist, hmmm?
