Eban Johnson
This gallery contains etching, drawings and paintings of pictures that explore mythological themes as well as unusual anatomical mutations.

Keiti Ota
Here is another artist associated with Le Dernier Cri. Ota creates a colorful and derranged world with really weird looking kids. Themes of torture, bondage and mutation echo through most of the images. I found this image particularly disturbing. In it there appears to be a kid having his tongue pulled out only to have it regenerate and be pulled out again?

Leo
An underground comic artist attached to the french art group Le Dernier Cri, Leo has incorporated the drug influenced Zap style with a more horrific vibe. There are some similarities between Leo and Charles Burns, especially with images like this. To see another gallery in english on Leo, check this site out.

Also, be sure to check out my new blog dedicated to unusual animation. I'll be posting plenty of bizarre cartoons, stop motion animations, and links to many other bizarre moving images over the following weeks.

Theodor Seuss Geisel aka "Dr Seuss"
Someone who needs no introduction, Dr Seuss has been one of the greatest inspirations in my own art. His images are always filled with strange landscapes and architecture, bizarre factory machines and more weird looking creatures then you can shake a stick at.

David Sandlin
The best way I can describe Sandlin's paintings is as dream landscapes. There is a distortion in the perspective of objects and a warped atmosphere that would only make sense in a dream.

Roland Topor
Apart from having made some incredibly weird drawings, Topor is responsible for having been involved in the creation of some of my favorite films. He's credited as writer and graphic designer on Rene Laloux's "Fantastic Planet" as well as the novel "The Tenant" that became Roman Polanski's film of the same name. 2nd Website dedicated to Topor

Thanks to Fufu, Luke and Tobias Tak for suggesting this artist to me.

Jacques Pyon
Here is a gallery of French underground comic artist, Jacques Pyon. His work has a goofy but demented cartoon style about it, kind of a sinister version of a Nickelodean cartoon. There is a strange array of creatures and characters through out his work. Be sure to check out this sketchbook of his. Lots of interesting drawings in there.

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.

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

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.

Trenton Doyle Hancock















Hancock has made a bizarre selection of abstracted cartoon like characters and environments. He draws himself into some of his imagery in superhero like outfits and is confronted by very weird ghoul looking creatures with bloodshot eyes. Great stuff.
