James Ensor
Ensor's imagery is very nightmarish. Characters have faces that resemble masks, demons taunt and torment people in a variety of ways. There's always some sinister character or act set forth in his work. Apart from his disturbing masked characters which he is most well known for, he was also a master at depicting architecture, as can be seen in this etching.

Richard Neir
Neir's imagery consists of surreal environments of strangely formed landscapes and figures. Some of his more recent work resembles a newspaper wadded together only to grow into a living thing and fold back out. Some of my favorite works of his are in these series.

Lee Misenheimer's "Destroy Rock City"
Some very haunting drawings here. The hatch marks really add to the effect of these looking like deformed humans. Some of the best face drawings I've ever seen. You can purchase a small book of drawings for 4 bucks by this artist here. I'm planning on picking up a copy for myself.

Daniel Martin Diaz
Diaz creates esoteric imagery that incorporates strange symbols and surreal characters.
I haven't had much luck finding a website of Colin Batty's work but I did find this great painting he did of a group of colorful demons tormenting a religious man.

Scott Teplin
From intricately designed rooms layed out in sims like patterns to some of the most disturbing mouth drawings I've ever seen, and on to pink icing donuts, Scott has a wide variety of unusual imagery. There is a great selection of his many drawing and painting series on his site, many of which have been collected into original one of a kind books. And Scott, I really love your work but man are those some dank ass mouths!

Brendan Danielsson
Apart from running the Artdorks site, Brendan has made some very unusual paintings and drawings of people and monsters. The faces of the people in his imagery appear like halloween masks, with warped structures and strange colored noses and ears. Also, I can't think of another artist who does a better job painting or drawing hair then Brendan.
