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
