Is Friday the 13th an unlucky day? Not to these 6 artists who share a love for the absurd, the cynical, comics and other underground and popular culture and darker aspects of life. Artists not afraid to confront the viewer with the harder truths in life, but coated with a candy colored sense of humor but sometimes bathed in deeper shades of grey.
