Daniel Martin Diaz
Diaz creates esoteric imagery that incorporates strange symbols and surreal characters.


I haven't had much luck finding a website of Colin Batty's work but I did find this great painting he did of a group of colorful demons tormenting a religious man.

Kristian Olson
Kristian has a unique process of illustration. Every character and animal in his art appears to be wearing strange plated armor for skin. It helps to make much of his work feel like imagery from some bizarre dimension or planet. Also, his color combinations, use of patterns and design overlays are brilliant.

Brendan Monroe
One of the main themes of Monroe's work is reinterpreting vegetable like shapes with human characteristics. Some of his paintings reminded me of the bizarre characters found in a Hayao Miyazaki film. From vegetable people, blobs, salamanders with human faces and chunks of dirt that resemble people, you'll find plenty of odd creatures in his gallery.

Scott Teplin

From intricately designed rooms layed out in sims like patterns to some of the most disturbing mouth drawings I've ever seen, and on to pink icing donuts, Scott has a wide variety of unusual imagery. There is a great selection of his many drawing and painting series on his site, many of which have been collected into original one of a kind books. And Scott, I really love your work but man are those some dank ass mouths!

Sean P Aaberg AKA Goblinko
Many a monster, mutated wrestler, cartoon freak and demonic fighter has been conjured by Goblinko. Make sure to check out the 2nd gallery as there you'll find the widest selection of his work, at least until his webstie is back in running order?

Kathy Staico Schorr
As the wife of Todd Schorr, there does appear to be an influence between the two. I remember Kathy being one of the first artists to appear on the cover of Juxtapoz. Some of her more interesting imagery is that which focuses on Halloween themes like the painting posted above. And while there is very little of her work that I've been able to find online, I've dug up a few good paintings to show you.

Brendan Danielsson
Apart from running the Artdorks site, Brendan has made some very unusual paintings and drawings of people and monsters. The faces of the people in his imagery appear like halloween masks, with warped structures and strange colored noses and ears. Also, I can't think of another artist who does a better job painting or drawing hair then Brendan.
