Christoph Jamnitzer
The creatures in these drawings appear equally as ornaments or patterns brought to life. The spiral shell motif is repeated through most of the creatures giving everything a bizarre snail like appearance. If I ever manage to get a copy of this book I will scan every picture in it and make a worthy gallery of this artist. Until then, here are 6 incredibly large detailed images from Jamnitzer's peculiar imagination.

Bill Flick
A bizarre collection of grotesque cartoon like characters and faces which look more like Halloween masks.

Alberto Martini

Single Image

Martini's imagery is largely inspired by war and death. He uses monsters, often to depict mankind's self destructive nature.

The Fantastic In Art And Fiction
This great gallery hosts a wide selection of vintage drawings depicting freaks, monsters, beasts, demons and many other imaginative creations.

Gregory Jacobsen
Very few artists could make something that at first glance resembles a fruit basket, actually appear as some surreal entrance to hell. Human ugliness and all manner of creatures litter the environments of Gregory Jacobsen's grotesquely painted world.

Marcel Dzama
2nd Gallery
3rd Gallery
4th Gallery
5th Gallery

Dzama's artwork is a never ending parade of vampires, human faced trees, frankensteins, bears, cowboys, robots, dragons, mishapen people and a wide variety of other peculiar things.
