In the vein of the last link I posted, check out Atelier Olschinsky too. It's got a similar almost-1990s retro-futuristic cyberpunk aesthetic in these collage-like colourful chaotic cityscapes. Kinda reminds me of the cover art for some editions of Wm. Gibson's Bridge trilogy, or the aesthetics of the first couple Wipe Out games. I actually think Olschinsky might have worked on either...

Someone's created digital sculptures that are self-expanding and self-sustaining based around the mathematical algorithms they're based on, living and evolving independently of the artist. They also kind of look like mechanical flowers, especially when they unfold.



When you have time, take care to watch the video.

Sprayed ink on A6 photo paper, from this artist.

Actually those are crops of A6 format pictures that all represent skulls ! The source visuals are much smaller than what they seem.

That is, as Insane Clown Posse say, some wicked sh*t.

Was just about to log on in order to fix the link to Lilith Keogh's website, only to see that's already been taken account of. Her new art is quite good, if completely different - apparently she's not just been inspired by traditional Japanese art but also exhibiting in that country.

Hi! I see that the link Toaster Mantis put out for my tumblr page is not working since I changed it when I changed my name from Lillit to Lilith.
The correct url is now lilithkeogh.tumblr.com

Here's some very complex collages involving anatomical and plant motifs in often morbid combinations. They're very large and complex, not too dissimilar from the infamous Voynich Manuscript.

Check out these paintings by a 5-year old autistic girl named Iris Carter. Almost Monet-esque.

Got a biography of her, complete with lots of illustrations, as a Christmas present last year but haven't read it yet. Will get around to that probably when I'm done with my master's thesis.

Here's some more nominations, rather disturbing dark fantasy/gothic horror stuff by Polar Maya and Don Kenn. The latter in particular draws like a deranged and evil version of Hayao Miyazaki.

Red a while ago about an artist who contracetd and survived cancer of the pineal gland, of all things. The resulting paintings about the ordeal turn out to be quite something, insanely detailed and trippy. Would make for quite good progressive rock cover art, also kind of reminds me of both Philip K. Dick's VALIS and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus Trilogy.

People frequently joke that the famous Citröen DS looks like something from a different planet or even 60 years later still resembles a car of the future. Well, Jacob Munkhammar has photoshopped a bunch of old Citröens of several models to look like futuristic hovercars.





If less technological motifs are more your bag, you might like Rogan Brown's paper sculptures of microscopic forms found in nature both organic and mineral. Some of them look more like alien winter landscapes or decidedly Freudian.







(yes, I'll later on try to find some more material that isn't just reblogged from Dangerous Minds)

Forgot to mention that this weekend I've been to an art exhibition here in Copenhagen, my favourite of the artists exhibited was Karina Kejser Bøhl who does these fantastic close-to-monochrome paintings of abandoned buildings and forest landscapes. The others included potter/painter Ruth Lorenzen and Morten Ingemann who's best known as a political cartoonist but also exhibited several more serious paintings in a grotesque surrealist style.

Will look into the oeuvres of Mati Klarwein and Robert Pollard after Dayvenkirq linked to that previous similarly-themed thread.
