Australian artist Christine Aerfeldt's paintings are quirky and odd. The artist’s penchant for knitting is a common theme among her artwork and why wouldn’t it be? Knitting is awesome and all the cool kids are doing it. Another distinctive feature of her artwork, which I’m sure you’ve noticed, is her love of cone heads (classic SNL skit). Taking her attractive muses and stretching their foreheads as they knit, either that’s messed up, or just brilliant. It caught my eye and it caught yours, so it’s most likely the latter.
