If you’re looking for a shock and awe artist, it would be hard to find someone that tops the bold work of Marc Quinn. Take his Self project for example – for this sanguinary project, he froze several pints of his own blood, collecting it over a period of 5 months, and then used the blood to sculpt a replica of his own head. He is also famous for a recent work released in 2008 of model Kate Moss cast in solid gold sitting in a contorted Yoga position. Allison sculpture/ Some other interesting tidbits, he was once a roommate of Damien Hirst, and he’s also part of YBA (Young British Artist) collective that has other deliciously twisted minds like Chris Ofili. We guess it’s true – you’re truly a product of the company you keep.

The LA-based label Odyn Vovk is the brainchild of Austin Sherbanenko, a designer that’s not afraid to shun the norm in favor of creating designs that make retail buyers scratch their coiffed hairdos in utter disbelief. His designs reflect an edgy rock aesthetic which is influenced by hardcore punk music and Eastern European black metal.  The name Odyn Vovk itself means “one wolf” in Ukrainian, and it applies quite nicely to the bold and raw designs coming from Sherbanenko’s collection.  “I've heard that designers are toning their stuff down, going not as detailed, less intricate, less zippers, whatever the case is,” Sherbanenko told Style.com.  “But definitely not from me. Dude, whatever, let's just do it anyway. Fuck it. Who cares?" Our sentiments exactly.
