Today we are just out and out digging’ the work of Matt Linares. His wooden-esque mechanical beings are beautifully rendered and we also like the nautical influence that seems to be going on as well.

Gentle beasts
Dan May creates a gossamer world filled with gentle monsters and furry beasts. A beautiful dreamland where you should be afraid to look behind you, but you don’t have to be. A place where reality should not be trusted and childhood imagination comes to life.
Bucktooth Furry Creatures
Joe Scarano has a thing for the weird and wonderful illustrations and animations born of the grimy grimness of the 1930s depression years. Living in Orange County, NY (USA) with his wife and son, and as he says on his website, they also share their lives with various furry creatures. Joe spends his nights conjuring up the crazy vintage inspired menagerie you see here but check out his site for more awesome goodness.
The eyes have it
The work of Paolo Guido is remarkable in it’s detail, especially the beautiful expression found in the eyes of his cherubic like characters. From his vision of the God Pan as a rosy cheeked boy to his sullen Omen-esque school girls, his work is beguiling and enchanting.

Lend me your eyes
The work of Ray Caesar can only be divined as devilishly delightful, matched only by his imaginative cheekiness as evidenced in not only the hinted coquettishness of the ladies in his art but in the Grimm-esque nature of his biography on the site.
Beasts of Beauty
Welcome to the curious world of Kaitlin Beckett, where skeleton’s hitch rides on magnificent creatures, and hybrids of all kinds stroll forth from her imagination. Kaitlin currently has an amazing show up at the No Vacancy Gallery, located in the Atrium in Federation Square (Melbourne) and you can purchase the amazing pieces featured below… if no one else has beaten you too it that is!
Paper Machete
It is hard to believe that French artist KriSoft (Christophe Goussault) creates amazing scuptures from simply paper and glue, or rather paper mache as it is more well known. His delicately mashed together paper creations are not only fragile and beautiful but stunning in their complexity. The attention to detail is wonderful and there’s that little touch of creepy that makes them even more perfect.
I can see inside you
Super cute meets creepy goodness on the canvas of Ania Tomicka. Living up to her name sake, the first glance gentle scenes of her beautiful paintings and illustrations soon reveal the internal workings of the little girls, boys and cuddly mosters in her work.

Gross’ menagerie
Happy Friday! Today we are diggin the smashing art of Alex Gross whose menageristic imagery (yes, we just made up a word!) is simply stunning to behold with the naked eye. His almost Chinese-propaganda-style and vintage advertising inspired works are a wonderful modern take on product placement as well as a quick stab in the eye of convention.
Cooler than Rainbow Bright
Oh yes, you heard me right! Yosuke Ueno is the very talented artist behind these simply stunning works. We are just loving the use of rainbow hair – it takes us right back to the toys of our childhood – I even had a rainbow hair coloured My Little Pony! More beautiful things can be found on Yosuke’s website. Happy Thursday!
