Terrance Lindall


I've been a huge fan of Terrance Lindall for a very long time. I discovered his incredible monster filled artwork in the pages of Heavy Metal magazine back in the 80's. Back in 1997 I had a website that focused on displaying artists like those that I post links to here everyday. Interestingly a few of those pages connected to that gallery are still alive, such as the page I made for Tim Burton. But I had a gallery dedicated to Terrance Lindall which has apparently gone offline over the last decade. It's a shame that in that time there still isn't a better online gallery of his work, perhaps someday

This gallery has many large sized works by Lindall.
You'll find 8 works by Lindall based on "Paradise Lost" here.

Biography on the artist.
Andy Bolus
This gallery contains a really weird combination of painting and drawing layered on top of pornographic photographs. The results are nightmarish to say the least.
There's also some weird comic book pages that have been manipulated, a very interesting idea. This page titled "Satanex" appears to be a collection of scans from a mini book put out by the artist. If you enjoy this artist I'm sure you'll also appreciate the works of Jonathon Rosen. I was reminded of his work upon looking at Bolus's imagery.

This site was recommended to me by another great artist I've recently featured, Shobo Shobo.
Sukumar Ray
"(1887-1923) was a Bengali nonsense poet, story writer and playwright. He is often compared to Lewis Caroll. His works such as the collection of poems "Aboltabol" ("Gibberish"), novella "HaJaBaRaLa", short story collection "Pagla Dashu" ("Crazy Dashu") and play "Chalachittachanchari" are considered nonsense masterpieces of the stature of Alice in Wonderland and some of the greatest treasures of Bangla liturature. More than 80 years after his death, Ray remains one of the most popular of children's writers in both West Bengal and Bangladesh." quote taken from article on Sukumar at wikipedia.

I stumbled across this image recently. It is apparently being used as an illustration for a role playing project titled "Urbis". I hope to find more artwork by whoever created this. http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/monsters_mm.html

Strange Book Covers
Lots of great artwork of weird monsters and other disturbing and peculiar imagery on the covers of various books at this site. Here's links to some of my favorite covers.

Slimer and Shock 2
Valley Of The Worm
Clark Ashton Smith Covers
The Beetle

The "Planet Of Terror" cover by Basil Wolverton, which is the first pic on the left is great. I love artwork that shows landscapes that define weird faces.

And check out the February 1995 issue (right panel) of Nomo.
