Blues Build the Temple Blues Build the Temple From the print series Blues Build the Temple by Trevor Naud "Twenty-One Prints on 285-Gram Watercolor Paper / Foil-Stamped, Letterpressed Sleeve" (quite a stunning object) Previously: Mapmaker From the print series Blues Build the Temple by Trevor Naud Dear internet editors: When you reblog more than 50% of a post you raise my blood pressure and hence shorten my lifespan. Daniel Horowitz Daniel Horowitz From the 365 series by Daniel Horowitz Read an interview with Horowitz and buy the book My stab at describing this work: Roland Topor and Hannah Höch attempt to illustrate the complete works of Lovecraft in one sweaty night, with Altered States distracting them in the background.

The Twelve Illustrations by Yury Annenkov for the first edition of Alexander Blok's poem "The Twelve" (1918). One of my favorite spots on the internet, the Russian illustration blog da-zdra-per-m, featured the book in April 2010. Clicking the images will bring you to that post. [update: RIP da-zdra-per-m -- I miss you so much!] The blog Snegourotchka discussed the poem and these illustrations in a 2008 post (in English). Previously: A Gentle Creature Light in the Darkness: Benn's Psalms Light in the Darkness: Benn's Psalms This weekend I found a mysterious French publication called simply Benn (Editions Medialogue, 1987, ISBN 2867400104). It contains 150 paintings illustrating verses from Psalms, with no details or dates, and only a brief preface (by "The Editor") containing glowing quotes by Jules Romains and the Louvre's Maurice Serullaz. Research of course cleared up part of the mystery: These are the work of Benejou Rabinowicz (1905–89), better known as Benn. Most of the works date to around 1959. Benn was a Jewish-Polish painter and graphic artist. Some links in French: 1, 2. Psalm 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth: light in the darkness. Psalm 69:2,3 Save me, O God, for the waters are come even to threaten my life, I am sunk in the mire of the deep, where there is no standing, I am come into the depth of the waters, and the flood overfloweth me. Psalm 71:6 By thee have I been supported from my birth. Psalm 9:18 The wicked shall return into hell.

Gulliver's Travels to Prague Gulliver's Travels to Prague Bohumil Stepan's illustrations for Gulliverovy Cesty (Gulliver's Travels), Prague 1968 I'm not sure who was responsible for this binding illustration half of the title-page spread surely Haeckel in the background "Max Ernst and Saul Steinberg meet Jonathan Swift in Prague." I haven't found much info on Bohumil Stepan (1913–85), though based on his style I'll guess that he and Adolf Hoffmeister (1902–73) were from the same circle of artists. I actually started buying these books (Gulliver is from my collection) instead of just "window shopping."

We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown Paintings by Jack Vanzet Title: Arthur Eddington Atley Surreal Landscape Art By Jati Putra Pratama Indonesian graphic designer Jati Putra Pratama creates surreal landscape artworks using photo manipulation. Much of his work consists of mind-bending scenes where dreamscapes are flipped into unusual angles or folded into each other. For many, Pratama’s compositions look like scenes that came out of the science fiction thriller ‘Inception’. All images © Jati Putra Pratama

Into the surreal Into the surreal Posted by Morrison Conway on November 10, 2011 · 22 Comments Moscow-based artist Philipp Igumnov has created these fun illustrations and collages. His artistic style walks a fine line between a melancholy dream world and ridiculous humour with each photograph containing a retro element that works to defamiliarize our notions of the past. Enjoy!
