Michael Canich AKA Mictron
Another great artist I discovered over at Artdorks. Mictron is also involved in the previously mentioned comic project. I'm very fortunate to be involved with so many fantastic artists.
Michael has a great talent for incredibly detailed ink drawings. His imagery usually explores mutated hybrid forms of known animals along with a variety of imaginary beasts. Until he gets around to making a website, I can only link you to a thread he's devoted to showcasing his art. But you can also find more of his imagery included in the book mentioned here.

Robert Hardgrave AKA Farmer Bob
I found Farmer Bob's art on the Artdorks website late last year, I've been a huge fan ever since. Farmer Bob is involved in a comic anthology along with Fufu, Luke and I. It's great to be involved with so many interesting artists.
His work explores unusual patterns and designs interpreted as organic deformations. His color combinations are always fantastic and as can be seen above, his imagery is incredibly unique.

David Paleo
Another artist friend of mine, David has always been very supportive of my work and I hope to collaborate with him at some point. His unique style oozes with the strange grotesque. The way he wildly abstracts flesh and bone into deformed abominations always amazes me.

Fufu Frauenwahl
I've participated in a couple of projects that have involved Fufu. An online comics jam from a few years back that took place on the comics journal messageboard and the currently in the works "Narrative Corpse" project.

Apart from his numerous and highly detailed drawings for various Fantasy, Sci - Fi and Horror projects, Fufu has created "Ray Murphy, Detective of Dreams", an interactive flash comic that takes place in a surreal nightmarish world. There is also "Mollusk Head" a comic that is arranged in a very unique and interesting seamless pattern. It takes place in the same fictional world as "Ray Murphy, Detective Of Dreams" and contains all sorts of bizarre characters and strange places. Here is a link to Molluskhead 1 - A Day in the Life of Ray Murphy's Assistant, Molluskhead 2 - The Assistant of Ray Murphy, and don't miss "Mollusk Head 3" located at the top of this page. The unusual colors fit the imagery very well.

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
Another Gallery

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.
