same source, article excerpt (from a review of the exhibition 'fine line' at adam baumgold gallery earlier this year)

Alejandro Cardenas, (whose recent work shown at ArtBasel Miami this year has put him on the radar for his intriguing and elegant ink on paper drawings) portrays a similarly intricate work. His drawings, entitled Lisette’s Burden of Responsibility, (2006) and Mountain Maintenance, (2006), reflect influences ranging from Aubrey Beardsley to Edward Gorey. He constructs his own language of mythology, giving his works relevance and accessibility to the viewer, while remaining intriguingly beautiful and intricate.

the third picture in the first post definitely has a beardsley reminiscence. i like it for the most part, i like the frightening effect it has [i may be the only one who actually finds it frightening though ].
