Can’t seem to find much about this guy except this:
Adolfo Bimer is a Chilean Artist, his most recent work in painting wanders between the discipline of the portrait and a development in new techniques of direct interaction of painting materials, that causes chemical reactions which are used in both metaphorically and visual terms to represent the human body.
Grotesque and haunting stuff, in all the best ways.

Design funnyman Von Glitschka has set up “5 Minute Logos” where for $5 he will literally spend 5 minutes on your logo. What’s amazing is that some of the ones he’s already created are better than much of the stuff out there worth $99 or $9,900.
