Articles
Rick Baker originally wanted to be a doctor, but this “monster kid” turned industry icon has always had a personal interest in painting. And now, the retired special effect master gets his chance to delve into the monstrous world he loves to inhabit, one on one. We had a chance to discuss Baker’s first solo show at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica and tried our very least to have him pay for a few therapy bills. Click above to read the interview!

Wonderfully proto-surreal book illustration found by the great folks at @publicdomainrev (highly recommend a follow of their feed)  “J. J. Grandville, A Promenade through the Sky, from Le Magasin pittoresque, June 1847.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
With its dreamlike inversions and kaleidoscopic cast of anthropomorphic objects, animals, and plants, the world of French artist J. J. Grandville is at once both delightful and disquieting. Read Patricia Mainardi’s essay “Grandville, Visions, and Dreams” exploring the unique work of this 19th-century illustrator now recognised as a major precursor and inspiration to the Surrealist movement”
