Clark Ashton Smith
Clark Ashton Smith is most famous for his association with H.P Lovecraft. Both of them contributed stories to pulp volumes such as Weird Tales, Strange Tales, Astounding Stories, etc. He wrote his own weird fiction but was also likely influenced by Lovecraft in creating additional Cthulu Mythos based stories. He was also a poet, sculptor and an amazing artist of peculiar characters and creatures. Thanks to Luke for the link.



Basil Wolverton
Wolverton is probably best known for his goofy abstracted cartoon faces and bodies that have appeared in magazines, gift cards, tshirts and recently, small statues. But he's also one of the earliest comic artists of bizarre tales. He's made many comics in the horror and science fiction genre. His imaginative creatures and incredible hatch mark drawing style always made him stand out against the rest.

Nick Blinko
I was introduced to Blinko's art on the album cover of Coil's Unnatural History 3 back in the mid nineties. He is considered an outsider artist and has made a jumbled unusual collection of imagery that focuses on skeletons, collages of odd characters and other visuals that dwell in the dark zone. He is also the singer of the band "Rudimentary Peni" and his artwork can be seen on their album covers.

Matthew Kirscht
Here is a demented collection of paintings that involve demonic candy, bats, pumpkin headed creatures and many other Halloween themed creatures.

Michael D. Bonfiglio
There are few mediums not included in Bonfiglio's site as he's posted his music, sculptures, paintings and comic work in his gallery. His imagery focuses on Halloween/Day of the Dead themes with the paperclay skeleton creatures and repeated monster imagery. He has an interesting selection of mini comics and sculptures for sale, along with his album which sounds as bizarre as his pictures look. Thanks goes to Ashley Holt for the link.

Richard Sala
One of my favorite comic artists, Sala's stories have a 1930's-40's crime mystery horror vibe about them that you don't see anywhere else. There's always some masked villan or peculiar monster creeping in the shadows of his stories.
