When a butterfly flaps its wings Addictees, we become song molesters!
And a one, a one, a one, two, three:
Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens,
Butterflies on skulls with gold leaf details,
These are the prints that we plan to unveil... s
So good!
Welcome to this week's Weekend Art Fix Addictees. We are proud to present two shiny new prints by the fantabulous Tunku Khalsom.
Hailed as a "creative groundbreaker" by Art Republik / LUXUO Magazine, Khalsom has had a fascination with skulls and butterflies from the age of 16.
"Butterflies have been following me around since I was 16 and got my first tattoo. I’ve always found them to be so effortlessly beautiful, which is the dream in my mind. Since then I have discovered that they have a dark side, I’m not going to get into it because it’s actually pretty gross, but you can look it up. I like the idea of being a surprise, and being unexpected, of having grit to your story. I love them for that.
"As we already know, butterflies are a symbol of change, of metamorphosis, and combined with the skull you’ve got life, death, change and love, all the things that we experience in life.
"Also, I just think that they looking f*cking cool together." - Khalsom
We f*cking think so too Khalsom!
Check it out now (the funk soul brother). Gets us every time.
