I am so proud to present my new art project – LADY ICONA! Lady Icona is both my new alter ego and a collection of surreal portraits of female icons – a visual celebration of amazing women! More pieces will be added regularly . Follow @ladyicona on Instagram. ♥
Äntligen är Mia & Maria tillbaka i poddstudion med både glöd och nya funderingar om livet, konsten och framgång! I avsnittet diskuteras kontrasten mellan samtidens förkärlek för apati, stress och avtrubbning – och den inre glöden som driver ART MONSTERS OF SWEDEN och den svenska lowbrowrörelsen framåt. Fast går det verkligen att segla utan vind? Utan glöd? Tjejerna är enstämmiga i frågan: var är glöden?
Programledare: Mia Makila & Maria Wingård

I’ve never put so much work into a digital piece before, been working around the clock with this one. It was fun to do but the story behind it is awful and disturbing – about the private jet plane “Lolita Express” – owned by Jeffrey Epstein. What a horrible concept and I feel so much compassion and sadness for those poor girls. My heart is reaching out to them through this intense piece. I hope you like it and fins your own stories in it as well. 
Art, Disney books and vintage erotica.
Detail from a work in progress. Based on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet plane “Lolita Express”, yeah, this one is a difficult piece to make…Thinking about all those poor girls…
