Really like this artists work. When I first saw it I couldn’t believe that these works were paintings but they are. He has an unbelievable drawing talent combined with a brilliant imagination, a lot of his stuff looks like surreal photographs.
Have a look at his website for more of his work.
Just found this artists today and I love his work. His name in Brandon Boyd, I never heard of him before but after a little googling I found out he is the member of a band (pretty big one I think) in the States called Incubus (excuse me if I’m a bit slow on that, I’m trying hard to increase my musical knowledge, struggling through Tom Waits at the moment).
Anyway, I love his style really nice sketches, love the detail in his work, also he seems like a real relaxed character from his bio.

I’ve been reading Grimms Fairytales lately, I really don’t agree that kids should be mollycoddled (not sure if it’s a real word but you know what I mean), I think stories that are purely sweet and nice and full of fluff and puppy dogs tails (although that is a little gruesome) are under estimating children. I really believe they see things differently than us and everything has a little magic to it for them, I think for a story to have dimension for kids it needs a little darkness, and so to bring this full circle, that is why I went back to Grimms Tales, to see where our original Fairytales started.
So, today when I accidently found The Islanders An Introduction by Charles Avery it reminded me straight away of Grimms. I love his almost human worlds, full of unusual characters, the weird and the wonderful. I’ve uploaded some images above, see what I mean!
