Pooch Island

Artist Michael Pucciarelli (aka "Pooch") was "raised on a diet of Ray Harryhausen films, H. P. Lovecraft novels, comics, Walt Disney World and other Florida tourist traps. He paints images that seem to exist in a bizarre afterlife. His art is a visual cocktail of these influences—with a shot of lowbrow culture—shaken and stirred, then served up in a souvenir tiki skull on the Day of the Dead. A self-taught artist, he owes much of his painting skills to over ten years of daily tattooing and drawing."

A look inside Turf One's head

All paintings should include a hinged face that opens to reveal a skull. Sadly, this is the only painting by Turf One that does that. Oh well.

You've been a naughty boy!

"Naughty Boy" by Brandy Milne.

Painted skull

Skull with heart-shaped eyes

The world's most romantic skull.

Michael Jackson zombified

A zombified portrait of Michael Jackson from "Thriller" by MunkOne or the eventual result of MJ's plastic surgery fetish?

Zombie Last Supper

I'm probably going to hell for posting this...

Spooky Kids

On Mike Hoffman's blog, he gives readers an inside peek into his artistic process. Amazing how a pair of plastic, thrift store frames inspired him to create these gorgeous paintings.

"California Screamin" by Dave Burke

His work is absolutely beautiful. Be sure to take a few minutes to browse around his site.

House of Initiation

Not intended to resemble one, but it certainly looks like a haunted house to me. (Artwork by Sam Chivers.)

Tim Biskup skull paintings

One of my favorite artists, Tim Biskup, has done an amazing series of cubist skull paintings. They range in size from 24" x 18" (like the one on the left) to over 6 1/2 feet tall! (Like the one below). Check out some more of his work here.

Look familiar?

Artist Dennis Larkins is obviously a fan of the "Bucky Spider". He features not one but two of the skeletal arachnids in his painting
"Let The Crumbs Fall Where They May".

To see more of his skeleton, monster and alien-filled paintings, click here.

The Monster Engine

When he's not creating artwork for comic book covers and trading cards, Dave Devrie works on an unusual side project - converting children's primitive crayon doodles into lifelike oil paintings.

Check out "The Monster Engine" for more information.

Monster paintings by Amy Hill

From the Roq La Rue gallery website:

"Amy Hill paints with a notoriously difficult Dutch Renaissance technique, using formality in the execution and opting for non-conventionality in her subject matter. In her newest series, Amy has painted a series of classic movie monsters as businessmen in suits. Earthy, luminous portraits are painted in tones perfect for the discriminating boardroom, as repulsive monsters are lovingly painted and renamed with 'normal' societially accepted names. Funny, yet thought provoking, the initial assumption of 'businessmen as monsters' begins to expand as the viewer considers what the artist might actually be implying."
