John Kenn. John Kenn’s Website See more art by John Kenn on this site Thanks to OvO for finding this artist! Lost in a Whimsical World (15 pieces) Matt Gaser takes us on an incredible journey through his storytelling art. It's hard not to get lost in this whimsical world he's conjured up from his imagination. The bright characters he creates are so full of life, they make you feel as if you've seen them in a wonderful dream. "The most satisfying moment in making art is not the final idea, but the process it took to get there," says Gaser.

"I'm inspired by the world around me and the hundreds of talented artists living today pushing my skills to grow in the arts. I hope my artwork inspired others to dream of the unknown realm, to travel to fantasy worlds, and to look into themselves to call upon their imagination. " Matt Gaser via [concept art world]

We wrote about Ray Villafane’s pumpkin carving tutorial several years ago, but it’s worth linking to again. We were reminded of Ray’s astounding squash-sculpting mojo when our most-awesome Director of Marketing and PR for Maker Faire, Bridgette Vanderlaan, sent around a gallery of Ray’s work through internal email. Even if you don’t have Ray’s artistic chops, I bet, if you carefully follow his instructions, what you get will be a heck of a lot more “high-brow” than triangle eyes and a jagged mouth.
