BY ART + COMICS
One of the things I love most about the online version of Juxtapoz is when they feature reader art. This week, the art of Quyen Dinh especially caught my eye. With paintings featuring such subjects as wolf-faced boys and pet death, her art is touching and universal without being overwhelming or saccharine. Here's a little bit from her bio:

"When it comes to art, there’s just something about the unadulterated colors of acrylic paint on canvas that is so visually titillating, visceral in effect, making it my favorite medium to work with. I suspect I never left that certain phase of childhood when bright colors, simple shapes, and outlines of Saturday morning cartoons and coloring books were the only images that captivated children for hours. Naturally, it is this love for simplicity and color that has found it’s way into my paintings. Making art for me has always been pure catharsis."
