The Elaborately Detailed and Surreal Artwork of Scott G. Brooks

Scott G. Brooks is an especially versatile artist and illustrator.  While creating illustrative works for a large number of high-profile clients, his fine-art paintings are particularly impressive.  Brooks' scenes are often elaborate, filled with detail and unnervingly surreal.  However there is also a subtler characteristic to his style which creates an unsettling effect.  A slightly stylized way of depicting people - their large heads, distance between their eyes - adds an additional level of peculiarity to his compositions.  The over all effect is a painting with a strange and detailed story to tell. See more of Scott Brooks' artwork after the jump.
