Falling children. Lonely teens. I get drawn and sucked into the characters, worlds, and narratives that Nate Frizzell’s creates in his paintings.

I think it’s hilarious that Dali did commercials. I especially like his “interpretation” of how Alkaseltzer works. :)

The Making Of: Madonna & Karl

Ninja December 23rd, 2007

I’m a fan of Mark Ryden’s surreal (typically meatastic) paintings. So I was very excited to see the brilliant (not to mention meticulous) folks at Pressure Printing’s step-by-step production photos of an Ryden’s latest intaglio print.
