Hi-Fructose just posted a great interview with Allison Sommers…
“The first time I saw Allison Sommers’ work I was amazed at how beautiful the creatures she painted really were. At first glance they almost appear to be partially inside out, with their internal organs poking through or splayed out on the floor. But as I got closer to each piece and stared a little longer, I found these creatures to be quite charming with their pleasant smiles and comically disproportionate features. Now when I visit her work online, I stay for a long time staring at these creatures that beg to be devoured with your eyes.” – Hi-Fructose.com
