We have to admit, Lisa King has been a little off the radar for us – but, now that we’ve seen her work, we’re kicking ourselves for not having discovered her sooner! The bits and the preview piece she has shown for her upcoming show in Adelaide next week, Fanciful Faces, are gorgeous, and having browsed through her back catalogue of work .. well, wow.

This talented artist, working out of Paperhorse Studio, creates characters that “take on an array of forms through a variety of decks, longboards, canvases and prints that scream a sense of escapism and fanciful personality, through fashion and costume … they’re playful and innocent, yet dark and angelic.”

Indeed – that just sums it up nicely … like! .. or is it +1 now??
