Rodney Matthews
Matthews has created many paintings exploring fantastic landscapes with alien monsters and strange technology, usually in some form of conflict. His interpretation of trains and cars are very bizarre. Click here to see a second gallery of his work.

Richard A. Kirk
Many strange pictures to be found in this gallery. The running theme in much of the work is a very grotesque mutation in the human figure, from completely abstracted facial distortions such as this, to the golem sized beast in this image. The pictures are incredibly detailed and the ink washes in the gallery section are amazing.

De Es Schwertberger
Although best known for his paintings of rock like characters, I think his best work is that influenced by Ernst Fuchs. Click the following numbers to see what I think are the best De Es paintings. It is unfortunate he isn't making work like this anymore.

Theodor Kittelsen
Kittelsen made many fantastic illustrations of characters based out of fairytales and legends. Images such as this and this one depict very nightmarish and haunting creatures lurking about. This image of humanoid creatures made from mounds of hay is especially disturbing.

Artist found thanks to BibliOdyssey's link to this gallery of Trolls. Check it out to see more work by Kittelsen.

I found this strange drawing of a giant skull face made from strange landscapes and buildings. It appears to be artwork for some band called "Sileni"?

Erik Desmazieres
The image above is an aquatint etching based on "The Temptation Of St Anthony" by Jacques Callot which I've linked to a few times on Monster Brains. The sprawling landscape filled with monsters as far as the eye can see, this is the kind of artwork I live for. I imagine Joe Vaux has probably seen this one. Be sure to check out the following links to see more work by this artist.

Ho Baron
This gallery contains a wide selection of surreal bronze sculptures that define strange objects and characters. There is an ancient and often Lovecraftian vibe about much of the work.

Site found thanks to The Lumper.

Hajime Emoto's "Museum of Fantastic Specimens"
Here's an incredible gallery of fantastic creatures made from paper, modeling paste and bamboo. Pinktentacle has been kind enough to translate the gallery into a list of links and what they're directed to. You'll probably want to navigate the site that way opposed to the original which is in Japanese.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Piranesi was one of the Godfathers of fantastic architecture. While much of his work was taken from real world locations, he went on to create dreamlike imaginary cities and colossal interior structures which defined a vast and incredible world. This gallery has compiled over 1,000 high quality scans of Piranesi's insanely detailed artwork. The gallery is overwhelming and easy to get lost in, much like Piranesi's imagery.

I suggest checking out his Prison series of etchings, which can be found under volume 8, images 34 - 49.

Jean Giraud Moebius

Here is a biography on Moebius in English.
Click here to see an index of some decent sized Moebius artwork.
Scroll to the bottom of this page to see more Moebius art, but don't miss the insanely huge pictures of Miyazaki's artwork at the top of the gallery.

Johannes Bartholomäus Adam Beringer
Here is a selection of some amazingly detailed and strangely abstracted depictions of real life creatures. The lack of interior definition in some of them gives them a very bizarre cartoon like appearance. Be sure to click on the "high resolution image" links below each picture to see them at incredibly large sizes.

Pages 115 - 137 have the illustrations, the rest of the pages appear to be mostly text.

Philippe Druillet
I discovered the work of Druillet on the covers of Heavy Metal magazine. His imagery fits well alongside the likes of Moebius, Ian Miller and Caza.
