Spindly, hollow-cheeked, big-eyed women ahoy! I couldn’t find a proper website (the one at my source links to a sex toy website now, FYI…so be careful about following any links at work)
I like her work a lot. I wish I could find more info.
See a few more here.

Olivia Rose is a visual artist based in the UK. Focusing most of her attention on creating enchanting female characters with deep eye’s, Olivia has created her own dream like dimension where her characters reside. Using mostly markers watercolours and gold ink to create her work she puts across a sense of regality and richness.
My personal favorite:

When I came across a post on Phantasmaphile regarding Jeff Hoke’s Codex of Creativity, I began drooling covetously.
Description
Do you see yourself as creative? Creativity is often seen as something magical and mysterious. The Codex confirms and explores this heady notion in all it’s mystery. Whether you regularly make things or want to develop a new skill, the Codex affirms creativity as a given talent that we all have.
Drawing on examples from the history of art, science and philosophy, it illuminates the creative process through the analogy of alchemy. As each stage of the alchemical process introduces a new concept in creativity, the folio encourages you to act, reflect and harness your own uniquely mysterious talent through thoughtful exercises you can pursue at home.
The 24-page monograph combines ancient wisdom and symbolism with contemporary psychology and philosophy to examine how we perceive and re-create the world. Examples from other artists, writers, scientists and philosophers illuminate the step-by-step journey that leads from idealistic expectations to the wonder of manifesting a physical object. The result is a practical, accessible tool to develop and enhance your creativity. A do-it-yourself zoetrope model is included with the Codex. Beautifully designed with intricate details, It features animations that reinforce the concepts behind the creative process. Building the model also offers you a hands-on opportunity to practice your own creativity.
This project, for lack of a better way to put it, speaks to my soul. Art, theory, history, science, symbolism, alchemy…it has “Dana” written all over it. I’m fascinated by alchemical teachings and processes (currently working on a system of applying said principles to healing). I must have this.
I bet Kerby Rosanes’s teachers would tell him to stop doodling in class. Little did they know…
Such fun, imaginative explosions of creatures and objects!
Wow.

I might have mentioned before that I’m a bit sick of zombies. I say this as someone who has wholeheartedly embraced the undead since toddler years. I suppose I just object to the relentless churning out of generic zombie products and memes to feed a pop culture craze. I’m sure this blog would be a lot more popular if it were crawling with walking dead.
That said, Maxime Mary’s “walkers” are full of cartoonish character and I like them quite a lot.

Or if a Cheshire BAT is more to your liking…

Sarcastic ghost is like “Boo…or whatever.”
Watched Poltergeist II the other day (great movie, but the first was awesome), and happened to pause for a break on this comical frame:
Oh, hell yes, haunted kitsch sweater!
Amazing pancakes (check out the one on the lower left…wow!):

The inclusion of something that has eyes does NOT an eyeball make:
Oh, you think your pumpkin is scary? THIS is how they did it in early 20th Century Ireland.
Ah, the 80′s…when movies had their own cheese-tastic rap theme songs. Take Monster Squad for example. What’s your favorite 80′s horror movie?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Have you ever seen anything more charming than this romantic undead overture? It was written by W. S. Gilbert (of the famed Gilbert and Sullivan).

I’m extremely picky about fantasy art, but I think Hong Kuang pulls it off amazingly well.
Lush detail, a sense of life and motion…and of course, gorgeous darkness.

It was this image from Ian Miller that got me into his work. The perfect toybox from hell…
LOOK at this creature! Are you looking? It’s insane!
I love how he combines cross hatching with sweeping strokes and intricate surreal detail.
Oh the organic, morphing, perfect madness!

Wednesday Wolf makes delightfully dark, whimsical watercolor pieces; toothy monsters with spindly limbs and grotesquely adorable misfits.
SMILE…

Oh hi!
Look at those loving eyes. Awwwww.

Tina Cassati is on the short list of photographers I would gladly ditch my camera-shyness for if I ever had the chance to be photographed by her.
Lush adornments and a touch of surreal manipulation make for stunning portraiture…
