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.
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.
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.
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.
