Light Be Bright, 2006, oil based color pencil, pencil, acrylic on paper, 30 x 40".
A couple of years ago we approached Aurel Schmidt, then an unknown Vancouver artist, about buying a piece for our space. We got our top pick, and Light Be Bright now sits on our wall, a beacon of grotesque beauty. Her darkly imaginative, often hilarious work, is meticulously rendered in obsessive detail. Now 24 years-old and living in New York, Aurel's talent and vision has efficiently lifted her to bona fide art star status.
Nice work Aurel!
For more info on Aurel and her work see here or watch this. You can also buy stuff she made here.

Amazing! What an innovative idea - a cargo ship propelled in part by a massive kite attached to its bow. The kite concept is expected to reduce diesel consumption by up to 20 percent. The first one sets sail from Germany to Venezuela tomorrow.
