I saved the entire Te Nia portfolio, one image at a time, because I want to go over them more closely and enjoy the lush detail of the colorful, morbid wonders.
One senses a disquieting double vision of closed eyes…
Tea done perfectly…

I was remiss in posting about this show at Roque La Rue when it actually happened, because I was dealing with hospital things.
I’ve spent many years pouring over art and photography sites, collecting literally thousands of links. Ransom and Mitchell are by far my favorite photography team ever and that is saying hell of a lot!
They don’t just photograph, they create entire worlds. Each image is a surreal, vivid tableau that you can get lost in. I have half a mind to carry their portfolio with me and accost random strangers on the street with it just to spread the beauty!
From the exhibit description:
San Francisco based art power duo Ransom & Mitchell create compelling, dark pop-baroque imagery using a distinctive blend of photography, digital elements, and most surprisingly, large scale and elaborate hand built sets, costumes, and props. For this exhibition, “Across From Familiar “, we specially selected a series of works that all share a similar ornately beautiful yet macabre aesthetic.
I’ll tell you a secret. Sometimes when my health is particularly bad, I think of appearing in one of their photos when I recover…and I’m re-inspired!

Paolo Petrangeli “works and lives in Rome. In his painting there is the childhood’s innocence with all the bitterness of the adult age.”

This is a fill-in post by proxy. Dana has appointments keeping her from posting today.
Enjoy the art of David Natale, from Dana’s blog queue.

Tina Cassati is on the short list of photographers I would gladly ditch my camera-shyness for if I ever had the chance to be photographed by her.
Lush adornments and a touch of surreal manipulation make for stunning portraiture…

Marcel Caram’s photostream is a vibrant, surrealist feast for the eyes.
It’s rather like Dali-gone-digital.

It was this image from Ian Miller that got me into his work. The perfect toybox from hell…
LOOK at this creature! Are you looking? It’s insane!
I love how he combines cross hatching with sweeping strokes and intricate surreal detail.
Oh the organic, morphing, perfect madness!

Marcela Bolivar does lovely surrealist photo manipulations.
Where can I live in a giant book, so my life may create the story inside it?
Apples are in season…
I’ve been away from home for two years now, chasing medical treatments…I bet my bed in NY is doing this.

And now a little installment of DG before I go down the medical rabbit hole for an indeterminate period of time.
Man, Edmund’s been talking for a LONG time.

What puffer cake has seen cannot be unseen.
I love this because the skeleton can either be reaching for OR releasing the heart, depending on the eye of the beholder.

I wish this were an actual vintage piece.
Tip from the SheWalksSoftly school of psychology: If someone hurts your feelings, sending a greeting card with one of the worst puns on earth is not likely to remedy the relationship.
Now, let’s everybody hope that the doctors have an ALL CHOCOLATE treatment planned for me next week.
