TOSHIO SAEKI, THE NSFW + WTF KING.

Freud would've love to meet this guy (Via)
Japanese culture is always taking things into a whole different level. Examples abound: from extreme TV shows, to guys playing invisible Tetris, to well, I guess one of the most extreme I've seen, in terms of illustration and graphic depiction. Even Cannibal Corpse album covers seem childish in comparison.

Toshio Saeki, is the kind of artist that makes you wonder the limit of human perversion. Not in the crude sense of the word, but in the subtle grotesque his artwork implies. His style is based off of old traditional techniques, in which woodcuts are then screen printed in CMYK percentages, a really slow process achieved with the help of a printing professional.

Heavily relying on the WTF factor, Toshio delivers shocking compositions, that nevertheless, are capable of  demonstrating the fine technique behind his work.

 NSFW, WTF, and possibly awesome (in a weird sense) images after the break.
