Julian De Navarez is one of those artists I found and suddenly realized I had lost a large chunk of time going through his archives of work.
My brain became immersed in putting together these surrealist vignettes…
For my favorite Libra, Lulu:
The images are filled with magic, machinery and meetings of odd creatures in strange places. What’s not to love?

Peter Lacy has only a small deviantART gallery, but I discovered his rendition of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in a search for cute grim reapers (don’t ask).
Death:
Pestilence:
Famine:
War:

I have no information on this artist (nor am I even certain I have the right name), but I nonetheless became captivated by these incredibly detailed structures.
It’s like MC Escher on digital steroids…
I feel like I need to take a good while to get lost in each one, exploring all of the objects, angles, shadows and surprises.
A few more here.

John Atkinson Grimshaw is a classic favorite of mine.
He achieves a rare blend of eeriness and warmth. His distant perspective bathes dampened cityscapes in moonlight, bringing calm to the bustling streets.
Victorian industrialized England had its fair share of grime and grit, but viewing it from afar in the glowing haze of Grimshaw’s works renders it utterly beautiful.
Human figures, if present at all, are mere shadows…tiny wraiths floating through grand space.

Maggie Taylor creates surreal digitally altered photographs; colorful, ethereal, and thought provoking.
Recently, an amazing friend pointed me toward active imagination (a Jungian exercise to help access the unconscious). These images remind me of the waking dreams my brain conjures using that technique.

I had to share this pun-tastic idea for a group are show.
Toy Art Gallery is proud to present Scott Tolleson’s DEADBEET Custom Group Show! The Deadbeet is 6” of soft vinyl veggie mischief, and we’ve invited 50 of the toy scene’s brightest and best toy artists customizers to tame this ragged root.
If anyone makes it to this, let me know how it is!

Next on my list of interesting decks to acquire is the Deviant Moon Tarot.
I am always interested in how different artists choose to render the rich archetypes and symbolism of the tarot.

Sandrine Replat’s multimedia illustrations create dreamlike worlds that play with unlikely twists, turns, light and shadow (think Alexander Jansson meets Tim Burton)

If one browses a great deal of retro horror art (as I do), one is bound to stumble upon this common theme: wandering women in nightgowns.
Apparently, many stories exist in which women find compelling reasons to roam the landscape wearing only their lustrous, flowing bedclothes.
So forlorn, uncertain…
And there is ALWAYS a perfect wind.
Feel free to caption any of these, folks.
