I found the work of South Korean artist Minjae Lee via Q Studios Inc.
I am enthralled with his work which in many instances is rather dark and sometimes quite disturbing. Unfortunately I can't give you any more info on the artist since the site is written in Korean, so all I can do is share my favourites from his portfolio.
I love the mix of really bright colour, graphic elements and realism.

Like the punky flavour - a lot of fashion inspired illustration can be way too girly.

Wow.. I just found out that he's only 19years old!
Very impressive! There's not much information about him or what his ideas are behind his works tho!

Disturbing is right. I was thinking it was moody and mental, but "disturbing" is much more accurate.
It's wonderful, though.

Absolutely gorgeous! It kind of has a feeling of a more fashion-y graphic novel with beautiful tragic characters!
