Cool or unusual art

Yeah but I provided a link.  

Hope you don't mind me resurrecting this thread, having found some stuff recently that I think fits it.

This gentleman does these incredibly detailed and rather disturbing coffee-based surrealistic animated short films. The style reminds me of a very twisted take on Alex Grey's output. (he's best known for the cover art he did for several Tool records)

My immediate guess is that he'd be too obvious a choice and well known. Either that, or the fact most of of his art isn't safe for work at all.

Here's some more stuff from Dangerous Minds: Rather disturbing Soviet anti-religious propaganda. Why no metal/punk/industrial music group has used any of those as album covers is a mystery to me.

This woman creates convincing realistic landscapes through embroidering yarn.

Reminds me of this thread.

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)

I've been always admiring Napalm by Banksy

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.
