AAAUUUU!! good things ,good cut heads ,good halloween for you!, salut from Barcelona.
Sweet witchy excellence!! Your site never fails to entertain and astonish.
Damn Aeron, what a fantastic job you did on this! i'm particularly impressed with the work of Bill Dunlap ( how the FUCK this guy slipped below my radar? i'm growing old...) but all the work's outstanding, and original! wich is the rarest of virtues nowadays.
I'm also beyond thrilled to share even the flimsiests of links with Paul Rumsey.
I hope some day you get to curate a "non-virtual" exhibition, i'm sure you coul do a traumatic unveiling of the eye job out of it, i mean, as long as you don't commit your only grueling mistake in this post: where's your ART?!
Yeah, sure, its not classy to anthologize yourself, but let's bludgeon & bury Class in an sandy grave without a name, i wanna see a AA's witch!
Thanks.
David
Thank you, I was very happy with the response to this, especially given that this a virtual exhibit. I only asked a very small number of artists to participate and the results have been amazing. I would love to do a real world exhibit around any or all themes followed on Monster Brains... someday.
And I wanted to do something for this but I've been very caught up in a handful of other projects, perhaps next time. I did make an artwork inspired by witches about 4 years ago that is on display here - http://www.ligotti.net/gallery/alfrey.html it is artwork number 24. A small group of strange characters pass through a hallway where dark niches along the wall reveal frozen witches in strange deformed and mutilated bodies. One has the wooden legs of a fake horse, another has sharp teeth shown through a ripped open torso. It is a prison for the witches to prevent them from causing any ... problems to others around them.
Great show Aeron, sure wish I could see it in a gallery. Someone should give you a shitload of money to do a touring monster show.
Just spotted the poll on the side there and if you ever do a Gojira themed show I wanna do HEDORAH!!!!
What a great virtual gallery and a swell idea. I just started my art blog called www.nickthehat.com, and would be happy to contribute to your future gallery showings.
Keep up the excellent work.
