Though she is perhaps most immediately known as 1/2 of the music sisters/duo CocoRosie (one of my personal faves), Bianca Casady is a CRAZY visual artist as well. She recently (Nov08-Jan09) had a show "La Combat Spiritual" at Galleria Patricia Armocida in Milan, and I was looking at pictures of it and was blown away.
The theme of the show was an “elaboration of the androgynous beauty of fairies and angels to explore a time behind patriarchy”, and her folky illustrations and spiritual-esque installations make her everything I want to be in life. The artwork really speaks for itself, it's absolutely insane, check out a really thorough slide show of the gallery here ("W-O-W Reportage Bianca Casady (CocoRosie) exhibition in Milan at Galleria Patricia Armocida" it's currently about half way down the second page but it will slowly keep moving- unfortunately there's no direct link. definitely try and take a look though)
