Femilly Killer (aka Emily Miller)

"I desperately tried to flatten myself into a hot dumbass on the Internet," begins Femily Killer's (aka Emily Miller's) artist statement on her website. That is the best statement ever, and I don't know what it means!

Femily (Emily) is an artist from Florida living and working in Brooklyn, NY.

Among other endeavors, F(emily) creates oil paintings with these alla prima, chunky, side-by-side brush stroke techniques. Her website says they "a sort of 'internal self portrait,'" but I posted a few sort of actual self portraits. 

I particularly like Selfie After Thiebaud. I'm guessing it was a good time. 

To see more self(ie) portaits, etcetera, visit emilyemilymiller.com or follow the hot Internet dumbass (!) on Twitter @femilykiller.

I love Solarsisters' Instagram: a vehicle for posts of these austere illustrations, photos, watercolors (many of which are printed on t-shirts for sale) that are perfectly simple and flawed -- like drawings by 8 year-olds (if 8 year-olds could channel the adult sensations of longing and sadness and ennui).

Of the three I posted here, the one with the woman + glass of wine is the only one with a title: Yeah girl me too. Yup. I feel that. In fact, I feel all three. Nice work, lady.
