Art! Valère Bernard

Just found this guy.  I can't find much about him, other than he died in the 30s.  Some seriously awesome stuff, though - I've just spent the last hour surfing from one image to the next.

(as pointed out below, the picture above is actually by Sidney Sime, who went on to have a unique collaborative relationship with Lord Dunsany. http://www.sidneysimegallery.org.uk/simepix-magazine.shtml )  I'm leaving it here to avoid confusion by future readers.

Lasse Hoile

I first became aware of Lasse Hoile by virtue of his work with Porcupine Tree, a British progressive rock band.  He had done extensive work with the band, providing covers and accompanying artwork, similar to the relationship between Gerald Scarfe and Pink Floyd.  I just posted a video this morning over on the googles by Steven Wilson, the lead singer of Porcupine Tree, that was created and directed by Lasse Hoile that is pretty much the closest thing we'll ever get to a live action Gamma World movie.  Seriously, follow the link above real quick, and tell me I'm wrong.  Mutated animals?  Check.  Mutated plants?  Check.  Weird Pure Strain Humans with gasmasks?  Check.  Sounds like Gamma World to me?2

As long as I was at it, though, I figured I'd collect some of his work here, for your enjoyment.

The Art of Zdzisław Beksiński

Prepare for mind fuckery, because this dude makes Giger look well-adjusted.

There's a whole lot more where this came from, the dude is nothing if not prolific...
