Terrance Lindall


I've been a huge fan of Terrance Lindall for a very long time. I discovered his incredible monster filled artwork in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine back in the 80's. Back in 1997 I had a website that focused on displaying artists like those that I post links to here everyday. Interestingly a few of those pages connected to that gallery are still alive, such as the page I made for Tim Burton. But I had a gallery dedicated to Terrance Lindall which has apparently gone offline over the last decade. It's a shame that in that time there still isn't a better online gallery of his work, perhaps someday

This gallery has many large sized works by Lindall.
You'll find 8 works by Lindall based on "Paradise Lost" here.

Biography on the artist.

Andy Bolus
This gallery contains a really weird combination of painting and drawing layered on top of pornographic photographs. The results are nightmarish to say the least.
There's also some weird comic book pages that have been manipulated, a very interesting idea. This page titled "Satanex" appears to be a collection of scans from a mini book put out by the artist. If you enjoy this artist I'm sure you'll also appreciate the works of Jonathon Rosen. I was reminded of his work upon looking at Bolus's imagery.

This site was recommended to me by another great artist I've recently featured, Shobo Shobo.

Sukumar Ray
"(1887-1923) was a Bengali nonsense poet, story writer and playwright. He is often compared to Lewis Caroll. His works such as the collection of poems "Aboltabol" ("Gibberish"), novella "HaJaBaRaLa", short story collection "Pagla Dashu" ("Crazy Dashu") and play "Chalachittachanchari" are considered nonsense masterpieces of the stature of Alice in Wonderland and some of the greatest treasures of Bangla liturature. More than 80 years after his death, Ray remains one of the most popular of children's writers in both West Bengal and Bangladesh." quote taken from article on Sukumar at wikipedia.

I stumbled across this image recently. It is apparently being used as an illustration for a role playing project titled "Urbis". I hope to find more artwork by whoever created this. http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/monsters_mm.html

Over 1,200 unusual drawings at this gallery to browse through!


I found this gallery thanks to Drone Corp. which mentioned my "Creature Features" drawings today.

Also, I've finally updated myFantastic Animation Blog. Lots of weird cartoons to check out over there, don't miss "Space War"!

Emanuele Bortoluzzi
I discovered Emanuele's weird artwork on his myspace page. His wacky cartoonish surreal characters, many that are layered one over the other into a dream like floating landscape are very fun to look at.

Pierre Delvincourt





















Lots of incredibly detailed works of fantastic architecture as well as many derranged and haunting characters.

Jean Coulon
Here's an artist who specializes in turning ordinary objects into surreal instruments of the imagination. From the incredibly weird tuba vehicles to the Typewriter city, lots of bizarre imagery to be found here.

The fish vehicle drawings are really great, check them out here and here.

Fabien Claude






















The first thing that appealed to me about this artist was the bodily distortion/abstractions that follow along a similar path to the style of Francis Bacon. I noticed also a loose similarity to some of the work of Zdzislaw Beksinski. With those two having some sort of influence on this artist, I became an immediate fan.

Strange Book Covers
Lots of great artwork of weird monsters and other disturbing and peculiar imagery on the covers of various books at this site. Here's links to some of my favorite covers.

Slimer and Shock 2
Valley Of The Worm
Clark Ashton Smith Covers
The Beetle

The "Planet Of Terror" cover by Basil Wolverton, which is the first pic on the left is great. I love artwork that shows landscapes that define weird faces.

And check out the February 1995 issue (right panel) of Nomo.

Lucien Shapiro





















Incredible bizarro monster creature sculptures in this gallery. These would be great to see in some stop motion animated film.

This installation of a giant monster is fucking awesome!
