ROA leaves incredible animal anatomy graffiti in cities all over the world.
His archived calendar was the only comprehensive source of work I could find. Perhaps he wishes to maintain a degree of anonymity due to the nature of his medium. He covers a whole host of subject matter, but the anatomical animals are my favorite.
Marmite-Sue creates fantastic digital and traditional art, combining Victorian and Gothic Lolita aesthetics with mechanics, dolls and pieces of nature.
Of course, most of her work produces that mildly unsettling feeling that I love so much in doll art.
I was lucky enough to see some of Zombienose’s paintings and sculptures at the C.A.V.E. show the other day, which prompted me to find his work online.
I love the way he makes colorful, vivid figures emerge from the shadows.
…and the awkwardness of his human subjects.
The paintings and sculptures are my favorites, but I do suggest browsing all of the gallery.
Today I went to the wonderful “October” group show at C.A.V.E. Gallery. It was a feast of mixed media pop surrealism and creepy eye candy.
My favorite pieces in the collection were dioramas and sculptures. There were some extraordinary creatures!
But there is a lot to be said for the fabulously unnerving paintings in the show as well.
I posted an album of selected works here, so have a look!
Each month, C.A.V.E. has a new themed group show, and I look forward to seeing November’s exhibit.
If anyone has wondered about the image in my header, it’s cropped from 5 O’clock in Orkzland by Mathias Kollros.
Here’s where I contradict my last post and admit the outstanding and mesmerizing potential of CG art. Some digital works are absolutely breathtaking.
William B. Hand can paint a whole world in one square inch. Nearly fractal images of life within life, within life…
I love the gift offering in “The Birthday Guest” (above).
He has a true talent for hybrid creatures, which spontaneously evoke maternal instinct and revulsion.
The best source for Hand’s work that I’ve found is his aptly titled blog, GENETIC BLASPHEMY.
The esteemed, or shall I say eSTEAMED Doktor A is without question one of the finest toy modifiers out there. I love his work so much that it’s nearly impossible to choose examples to post.
I do have a special love for this little fellow:
Isn’t this the most stunning custom toy collection?
I highly recommend browsing all sections of Spookypop to see his creations.
(The above is dedicated to my father, who has an unnaturally virulent hatred for the Pillsbury Dough Boy).
Oh…swirling line work and details galore on Dan Mumford’s site! My eyes get magically lost!
I’m not surprised that he’s been commissioned for album art and clothing design. Very nice work.
My love of strange art is most likely why I have absolutely no need for drugs. Dan Kennedy sends me on an “art trip” with his tightly packed brightly colored amalgams of pop culture.
His newer work is even more psychedelic:
And every now and then, you find a simple quote-turned-painting. When I get home to NY (and my craft supplies), I’m putting this one on a T-shirt.
Lostfish is a French illustrator, quite gifted in painting strange girls.
They all possess an intriguing sadness; a glossy, smooth yet broken beauty, powerful enough to evoke an empathetic response in the spectator.
I find myself drawn into their tragic little worlds.
