MILWAUKIE, OR — Camilla d’Errico is a powerful voice in pop surrealism, her work
combining diverse influences in imagery is both singular and hauntingly
familiar. Compelling and deeply personal, Helmetgirls documents Camilla’s art and lifestyle brand that
fuses manga, steampunk, and fine art into an original and meaningful aggregate.
Gargantuan
biomechanical headgear adorns beautiful, wide-eyed, and seemingly fragile
girls. More than just decoration, the helmets express each girl’s character,
needs, and desires. Look deeply into the Helmetgirls’ eyes—they have a story to
tell.
The first
volume of d’Errico’s work, Femina and
Fauna, was released by Dark Horse and has gone into multiple printings and
can be found in a diverse array of retail venues, such as bookstores, art
galleries, pop-culture and designer-toy emporiums, and comic shops.
Praise for Camilla d’Errico:
“She is part of
what may be the first art movement in Western history where women are not
second-class citizens, but may even have an edge in the mind of the public,
especially when it comes to capturing the essence that is woman.”—Juxtapoz
