This rather horrifying chunk of stop motion surrealism was hidden in the recesses of my mind until my wonderful friend Casey reminded me of it (thanks, Casey!)…
Cannot type/talk due to severe illness (all words courtesy of voice software or kind typing helpers)…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond.

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.

Woeful wisps of beauty can be found in the surreal paintings of Lori Earley.

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!
**May I make a daily request for the Readership to send Good Thoughts, Positive Energy, Prayers, and any means of conveying support and healing to Dana. She is struggling with getting past impossible pain on an hourly basis. One can only hope doctors are able to find a way to rewire her nervous system. THANK YOU! The Proxy Blogger**

Nicoletta Ceccoli’s work is something I wanted to post today especially since I feel the affinity Dana has for blondes in artwork. These in particular hold meaning for me and what Dana is going through. I like to see the bee as working magic to heal Dana, and that the salamander may represent the drawing away of pain.
Calling forth the mice to assist!

Dorote Zaukaite’s works are beautifully jointed and exquisitely posed. To me there is a faint hint of Hans Bellmer to her work, though you may disagree.

Enjoy these fellows and The Horned Virgin; works of art by Jasmine Worth. Let us hope that Dana is well enough to attend the Last Rites gallery when Ms. Worth’s art is shown.
