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

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

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!

Ransom & Mitchell’s website is bound to have you turning over every rock looking for morsels. Their surreal and ofttimes macabre portraits are exquisitely staged nightmares. Perfection.

Today the She Walks Softly blog is having a hybrid moment, or two, or five. When I see Liu Xue’s sculptures, I just want to squee! They are so charming and grotesque perhaps you will squee, too.

Strap a sausage to your nose and enjoy the art of Victor Castillo. What fun! The images are so familiar, and no doubt draw on some famous and obscure visuals for inspiration.

A new world to explore! Some of Artist Stephen Mackey’s surreal paintings evoke and draw inspiration from Lewis Caroll, but we want so much to explore the world of Mackey!
