Trenton Doyle Hancock
Hancock has made a bizarre selection of abstracted cartoon like characters and environments. He draws himself into some of his imagery in superhero like outfits and is confronted by very weird ghoul looking creatures with bloodshot eyes. Great stuff.

Dan Ouellette
This gallery consists of many incredibly detailed drawings with amazing shading effects done in graphite. There are many mutated and unusual humanoid creatures amongst this imagery. And I'm wearing a black tshirt with a drawing made by Ouellette on it, fitting that I post his website today.

Kizimecca
I've watched this artist develop over the past 10 years. There's always been a thick blanket of gore over everything he does but it seems like he's moving towards a more surreal style over the past few years. Chopped up and mutated bodies are mixed in with a swirling mess of objects and wildy arranged devices within Kizimecca's imagery. The slasher film version of surrealism.

Huston Ripley
Ripley creates highly detailed drawings of mask like faces that are filled with a symmetrical array of portraits, symbols and other patterns that give an organic vibe to the works. One could certainly draw comparisons to Joe Coleman with the flat landscape of miniature details spread across the imagery. Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the linked website to find the gallery.

Paul Rumsey
Rumsey's imagery is filled with incredible nightmare landscapes of giants, vultures, bodies stuck in architecture and all sorts of bizarre creatures. His charcoal drawing technique is amazing and the sometimes blurred out smeared faces really adds to the nightmare quality of the art. Be sure to click on the images in the gallery for much larger versions. And someone really needs to host a decent website for this guy, his work is far too amazing to be shown on Angelfire!
