YEN magazine recently did a feature on this diamond in the rough photographer Kelly Thompson and it’s no wonder. This hipster artist does marvelous illustrative works as well as takes remarkable photographs; the odd time, she mixes these two separate art forms to create something even greater.
Check out some of her mixed media artworks above and also have a look at her exhibit at the Gorker Gallery if you can make it out to Melbourne!
