Artist / SG Member Name: Voodou Suicide

Mission Statement: Art can be an escape, a personal thing, a social thing, a way to meet others. It has been all these things for me. I love making and doing things, so I don’t think I could ever stop. Art is a huge part of what makes me, me.

Medium: Mixed media, some favorites include Copic markers, acrylic, fineliners, water colors and my Wacom tablet for computer work.

Aesthetic: Fun, colorful, graphic, most likely containing robots and/or dinosaurs.

Notable Achievements: I won Sappi ThinkAhead Graphic Design Student of the Year. I have passed my ISTD (International Society of Typographic Design) exam, making me able to put MISTD after my name. I have been featured in House & Leisure magazine (South Africa) as a winner of their reusable packaging contest. I have also been an Emerging Creative at Design Indaba (South Africa) in 2009.

Why We Should Care: Cause everyone could do with more fun and robots.

I Want Me Some: Find more of my graphic design on Tumblr and my T-shirts via my Etsy store. I also do commissions. Message me on SG if interested. Or email robot.factory.design@gmail.com

Mission Statement: Aside from drawing as a child, I’ve only been creating art for the last couple of years. I like to take already established images that catch my eye and retell their story from a different perspective. I’m inspired by everything in my environment including art, emotion, people, weather, music, culture, etc… Contrast and a sense of brooding are reoccurring themes in my work. Being manic depressive is also a big influence.

Medium: Paper, photographs, pencil, pen, markers, crayons, books, newspaper, magazines, Photoshop. I have designs on branching out to watercolor soon and plan on taking some introductory art classes to expand the mediums that I work with.

Aesthetic: I am a portrait/character artist by nature. I like to choose images as reference that convey a specific emotion, whether it be by facial expression or body language, and reconstruct that emotion in my own personal way.

Notable Achievements: Aside from selling some works locally and being featured on this site, my most notable achievement is the feedback I get from others. My favorite comment is that my work/style is different from anything they’ve seen. That’s kind of what I strive for.

Why We Should Care: I don’t really care who cares, I create because it is a sorely needed positive outlet and balances me.

I Want Me Some: Right now I post my work on SuicideGirls in the Artists and Fan Art groups and on my Tumblr page. If you are in Seattle and see a flyer for a show involving Big Sur, tear it down and you get some for free. I will eventually sell prints, but I’m not there quite yet.

Artist / SG Member Name: NerdMachine (though I prefer to be referred to by my professional name, Lord Sir Adam Markiewicz)

Mission Statement: To create comics that you might find interesting, that might make you think, and will hopefully entertain you.

Medium: Depends on the illustration. Generally, I use India ink on Bristol board. Sometimes I use PITT brush pens on Paris paper. All coloring is done in Photoshop.

Aesthetic: American comic art.

Notable Achievements: Last year, I wrote and illustrated Casual Fridays, a short comic for Domai.com. The story sucked, but people seemed to like the art.

Why We Should Care: That’s a surprisingly good question.

I Want Me Some: You can find me and my work via my website, blog, Twitter and Facebook. I am available for commission work. You can message me through SuicideGirls, or email me at admancomics@yahoo.com

Artist / SG Member Name: Rachelle Suicide

Mission Statement: Since I was a child, I’ve always loved to draw. I’ve always been attracted to traditional tattoo art; the bold, clean lines and contrast. The designs looked good 100 years ago and still look good today; I love the timelessness. Some of the designs I paint are original drawings. I’ve done a few commissioned pieces, which are a fun challenge. I have a huge library of art reference books (I’ve been collecting for years, and have spent a small fortune!) and I love getting to utilize it. Other times, I re-draw vintage tattoo flash and add my own style to it.

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

This week, Oogie Suicide paints us a picture of what goes down in SG’s Fan Art Group.

Members: 2,640 / Comments: 37,886

• WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: Being an artist, I love to look at what other people can do with their artistic talents. Whether it be with pen, pencil, acrylic, oil, watercolor, spray paint, Photoshop, or whatever else they can think of to use to make something beautiful. I also visit the group for inspiration. I’ve always wanted to use Photoshop, but have never gotten the chance to, but I was introduced to many other new and different styles by so many different artists that I am just dying to try. I also love this group because it gives me a chance to show the ladies that I draw my fan art of them! I love doing fan art, and I love making people happy.


• DISCUSSION TIP: Open your mind and go to inspire others, go to reinforce others, or just go to look at some amazing art 🙂

• BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “Holy shit…Is it wrong that I want to grab people nearby in the coffee shop to show these to them?! You’ve chosen some total babesicles, too!” – Lyxzen Suicide commenting on the above piece of art of by Cameron Stewart.
• MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: I believe the most heated, or in this case the topic with the most positive feedback on their art, is the art by SG’s very own, Cameron Stewart. His artwork can be seen in this group, and also in the SuicideGirls Comics.
• WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Anyone with artistic talent, anyone that has appreciation for art, people who want to be drawn, really anyone at all.
