This artist is clearly influenced by Remedios Varo.

W.R Leigh - The Things That Live On Mars

Beasts!
"BEASTS! is a 200 page, full-color hardback coming this fall from Fantagraphics and Jacob Covey. A gorgeous compendium of mythological and folkloric creatures, the text will be accompanied by full-page illustrations of each creature created just for this book. The jaw-dropping artist list includes 90 of the most talented pop culture artistes from the worlds of skate, rock, comics, scifi, children's books, "Fine Art" etc. Each artist has selected a creature from recorded descriptions of mythological (or perhaps just elusive) beasts and rendered their vision of it."

See more previews of the book here.

Ilmar Malin
Here is another incredible artist from Estonia, that place must have some strange drinking water. I enjoy the way the artist turns abstract forms into what appears to be living creatures.

Andrus Kasemaa
The dominant subject matter in the work of Kasemaa is the abstraction of the human form. Images such as this and this twist the human figure into strange creatures.

Details of the image posted above can be found here.

Richard Laillier





















The way Laillier obscures and manipulates the human body is very disturbing. Bodies become like animals out of a very haunting nightmare.

Ed Pien
"Ed Pien's work is inspired by Asian mythology and Western history. Pien's drawings are highly expressive and spontaneous creations. His drawings conjure up a fantastic and disturbing universe that recalls the works of Hieronymus Bosch and Francisco Goya. Ed Pien also creates sensual, drawing-based installations using ink and translucent paper. The spectator is invited to walk into these floor-to-ceiling environments and approach the half-human, half-animal monsters within." - quote taken from here.

Deth P. Sun





















Lots of pictures of unusual cats and the weird fantasy world they inhabit. The use of color is amazing in the paintings.

Satoshi Nakai
Lots of mutated things in the "Biohazard" gallery.

Don't be fooled by the videogame graphics in this gallery, each pixel monster takes you to a weird Lovecraftian digital artwork like the one seen above. The lower pixel creatures take you to a more detailed reintepretation of them.
