Vlad Gradobyk
I adore Vlad Gradobyk’s collection of perfectly cross hatched skulls and skeletons. His other forte seems to be organic collage…the mingling of flowers, beasts and bones. Vlad GradobykFiled under: art...

Alien and Predator as Little Golden Books
If these were actually real…I hope (well, know) my father would have gotten them for me when I was a child. (Dad…look at Predator! How excellent is this?) Would it be in bad taste to paste these over...

Thomas A. Gieseke
Behold Queen Tardigrade! She is just one of many bright, densely packed lowbrow delights from Thomas A. Gieseke. This one is a favorite of mine, in part due to the title: The Extrovert Leaves the...
