Sas Christian paints porcelain-skinned punk rock girls with anime eyes. But her subjects’ tough exteriors can’t hide the fear that lurks beneath. The painful truth can be glimpsed within the colors of their gorgeously rendered oversized peepers, revealing that underneath the punk rock haircuts and angel/devil grins are our sisters and daughters. Beyond the seriousness of the images, there’s also a kitschy sensibility that permeates much of Sas’ work (the two men she’s painted are both entertainment icons: Dean Martin and Pee WeeHerman). In recent years, the Floridian painter has become a popular fixture in the lowbrow art world, and her originals can fetch upwards of several thousand dollars. But never fear, for just $20, Sas will send you a signed print of any of her paintings. We’ve got a couple here at YuppiePunk World HQ, and every time someone spies one, they always enquire about them. To quote an old Replacements tune, they are indeed, sadly beautiful. To order a print of your own or to see a ton of her work, check out her website.
