Angelina Wrona Artist : Margaret Keane : Gothic Fantasy : Sad Eyes
"The eyes follow you," they say. Artist Margaret Keane was among the first to make this form of art really famous.
Gothic fantasy art, particularly this style of art has been around for years and has recently enjoyed a resurgence. It's popping up not only in print form but on shirts, stationery and as ornaments and jewelry just to name a few.
There are many well-known and up-and-coming talented artists in this genre whose work is collected by many.
Interior design styles are becoming more and more about personalization. You want to express the people who live in the home, the people who work in the space. It's less about following trends and replicating what you see in magazines and big box stores. Show your own tastes with expressions of the art you love. Capture the interest of those who enter your space with some of this exceptional artwork. How about gift ideas for sister, your brother, yourself?!
Blythe, a popular doll with this look has been around since the 1970s.
It often combines features of Gothic art and Japanese anime. Here are some of the best artists in this category. Take a look at some of their work. It's dark and exciting, very clever and thought provoking.

Angelina Wrona's Web Site
From her biography:
"She began to realize and combine her delicate, dark subjects with surreal twists and ideas. Blending Japanese anime, folk art and representational styles to bring them to life, Angelina has created her collection, which she affectionately calls the 'Senta-Mental Dolls.'
"The twisted fairy tales the dolls inhabit are conjured up in the 19th century home in Merrickville, Ontario where she lives with her husband and their two beautiful daughters, who are a constant source of inspiration."
Original Works and Limited Edition Prints, Dryin' the Dishes available exclusively as Limited Edition print.
Sometimes mistakenly called Angela Wrona, the artist also produces amazing Reliquary Boxes, Card Cases and Jewelry.

The Artwork of Mark Ryden
Ryden, Mark
Mark Ryden's artwork has been described as captivating and disconcerting, mysterious and enthralling, unsettling, mystical, cuddly and frightening all at once.Ryden has been referred to as the king of the Pop Surrealism movement. Mixing joyful child-like imagery with disconcerting pieces of body parts or bizarre sights in nature, forming a strange mixture of children's book images and meat or blood. Moved by alchemy, metaphysics, science, and philosophy and attracted to ancient cryptic symbols and mystical imagery, Mark Ryden produces incredible storybook artworks which are stunning yet disturbing.
Ryden's artwork mixes saccharine-sweet, cartoon-like characters with a detailed fullness and a eerie combination of numerology, little girls, meat, Catholic and Buddhist symbolism, and carnivalesque Americana. fascinated by things that take you back to memories from childhood, Mark Ryden frequently incorporates toys, as well as scenes of bunnies, children, clowns, and ice cream trucks, which just happen to be united with skulls and porterhouse steaks.
Ranging from big highly-polished oil paintings to small black-and-white works on paper, Mark Ryden exploded onto the art scene in the 1990s as both pop art illustrator and fine art painter. His artwork has gained increased popularity due to publications such as Juxtapoz, which features his art regularly, and to his artwork on many album covers such as Michael Jackson's "Dangerous," Red Hot Chili Peppers "One Hot Minute," Scarling's "Sweet Heart Dealer" as well as covers for Ringo Starr and Jack Off Jill. Ryden's art can also be seen on the dustjacket of Stephen King's novels "Desperation" and "The Regulators."
Many people have become fans after Chris Garver did a replica of Ryden's print "Rose" on Miami Ink and his work is now highly sought after for tattoos. However, it takes a highly talented artist to be able to recreate his distinctive masterpieces.
"Rose", a gothic girl crying tears of blood is the most popular of his paintings to be translated to skin, though many others have also made the leap including "Fountain," a painting of a girl holding her head while blood spurts from her neck, "Nurse Sue," and "Dog Named Jesus."
"I find it so much easier to be creatively free at night. Daytime is for sleeping. Nighttime is the best time for making art. The later at night it gets the further into another world you go." - Mark Ryden http://markrydenart.blogspot.com/

Mark Ryden: The Tree Show
Absorbing Roman poet Ovid's tales of transformation in Metamorphoses and adding his own dash of art-historical figuration and contemporary pop culture, Mark Ryden broaches new terrain with The Tree Show.
"Arcadian Gothic" might hint at the nature of this new work, and fans of Ryden will find familiar preoccupations in these new paintings, drawings and sculptures--made since his first solo show in 1998--transposed to new pastures.
Never reluctant to freight his work with layers of reference that range from Renaissance landscape and Neoclassical portrait painting to occultism and literature, in his latest works Ryden combines the arcane with pop-cultural images as ground from which to make his carefully executed leaps into fantasy.
Ryden's series includes depictions of oak trees consuming children, floating tree stumps with "seeing" eyes, imaginary wood nymphs and mythological characters who personify Nature herself.
Ryden paints his characters with a masterful, porcelain glow reminiscent of Ingres and renders his trees with a care that evokes Audubon's botanical illustration. Several of his paintings are presented in elaborately carved frames that project their narratives beyond the canvas.
The Tree Show offers reproductions of these paintings and sculptures alongside the fruits of Ryden's research on the tree as myth--drawing from the Buddha's Bodhi Tree to Adam and Eve, the Sephiroth of the Kabbalah and matters of ecological science.
As such, this volume constitutes an enticing dossier on Ryden's encyclopedic exploration of the subject and reproduces in its entirety this series centered around the arboreal world. -- Amazon

Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed
Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed
In the late 1950s, throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, such artists as Margaret Keane, Gig and Maio created a new kind of mass-produced art known as 'big eye'.
Now big-eye art has undergone a major revival, but with a twist: the wide-eyed, endearing waifs of the earlier movement have transformed into fairies, mermaids, demons and myriad otherworldly beings, including the famous 'Blythe' doll.
This extraordinary book showcases the dazzling works of over 20 of today's most significant big-eye artists, offering an insight into a fantastical, sometimes bizarre, metaphysical world.
Including over 150 captivating images, this book is a fascinating introduction to a cult art form, providing biographies, contact details and website addresses of the featured artists.
A must-have for collectors of big-eye and Japanese anime and manga art and dolls, fans of fantasy and Gothic culture, and anyone interested in pop culture.

An artist's work...
"I grow weary of the mundane world, and I am trying to slowly create my own through my fantasy artwork. I believe that with each piece of art I get out of my system, onto paper, and into your home I have done my part to make this place a more magical planet." -- From Strangeling's eBay statement

"Good news - this means you don't have to be the same as everybody else. Whether that means the shirt you're wearing on your back, or the holiday card you're mailing in December. Dare to be unique we double dare you." -- from the Zazzle web site
Hoping that you love the item as is, but Zazzle allows you to customize text in hundreds of fonts and millions of colors.
The text and the items themselves may be different colors or styles. Change it if you want. Our feelings won't be hurt. Suit yourself. It's your dream.
One note, pay attention to the description if it suggests that certain shirts tend to run small. I've found this on certain styles particularly after a wash or two. The descriptions usually mention this, and then I like to order a generous size.
