I am picky about collage work, but I find something enjoyable about Denis Dubois’s strange scenes…

A useful revision…

Ah, a metaphor for our medical system in general.

I sought out Darlin Design because I adored this interpretation of Snow White:

Some other pieces caught my eye as well.

My fellow lovers of classic horror, suspense and sci-fi will enjoy this series of wonderful caricatures from Javier Martinez.

Chuck E. Bloom

Chuck E. Bloom’s strange chimeric habitats and windows into other worlds have me thoroughly intrigued…

Organic, surrealistic…perhaps they are just creative dwellings planted in otherwise barren land. Perhaps they are portals.

Back From the Dead…a Little

Posted in announcement, art, undead with tags , , on April 26, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

Hey folks, it’s Dana! Am I better? Can I type and talk? Not by a long shot. Recovery from my recent operation is estimated to take a year, in addition to the continuing serious troubles that have kept me bedridden and uncommunicative for the past year. And I will be contending with some potentially devastating tests and diagnoses in the coming months.

To quote Homer Simpson: “It’s like a BLT of pain…only instead of bacon, there’s agony.”

I’d like to start blogging again, though full time will most likely be impossible as of yet. I’m kind of coming back from the dead like a Zombie that needs to take naps.

I still have to rely on my wonderful proxy blogger, guest posts and the help of voice software or kind family members when I post on my own.

I’ve missed writing for the site more than I can possibly impart and apologize for still not being able to type responses to your much appreciated comments.

If you would like to help this comeback of sorts please post a link to this blog on your facebook, twitter, etc. Thank you so much for your continued support! See you soon…

Carl Turner AKA Biscuitboy

Here is another artist claiming “lowbrow” sculpture and artwork. Carl Turner AKA Biscuitboy rolls with Dr. Seuss as a major inspiration; and perhaps a tinge of Warner Brothers and Disney go into his wildlife sculptures. Some of the descriptions Turner gives for each of his creations are worth as much as the visual impact of the “trophies.”

What to post, what to post? Chuck Hodi’s subjects are so varied, though  within a dark, and by his own admission, lowbrow realm.

Dana sent me the link to artist Joe Fenton’s website. While wondering just which works to share here, upon viewing this video my socks were blown off. I had my answer. Wow. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. An extra Thank You comes from me to Dana for finding this!
