The alien tentacled eyeball


Watch this alien eyeball unfold its tentacles, on a great t-shirt designed by the talented D.Silva! It's menacing, yet graceful. This surreal monster looks like it's moving, bobbing slowly up and down before executing an unexpected, swift movement.
D.Silva's designs seem to have a life of their own, a strange tendency to leave their canvas and roam freely among us (well, that would be the stuff nightmares are made of!). He is inspired by tattoos, comics, punk, graffiti, steampunk, video games and animals, and his imagination absorbs them and creates pure gems.

It's not the first time he is featured here (there was this Screaming Flowers post, some time ago) and the reason is obvious: His shop is a must see!

Crash test drinking and cow abductees


A crash test dummy drinks it off in a bar, while a duck solemnly watches. Is this an unusual painting to put on an iPad case? It may be, and it makes me like it all the more because of this. It has an eerie, surreal mood -and I just love the painted palm trees in the bar stool!
Welcome to the wonderful, strange world of Leah Saulnier, an extraordinary artist with a keen eye for weird themes that mix dreamlike situations with a subtle sense of humor. Her colors are astonishing and the concepts she comes up with, make me jealous!

The alien school bus abducting a cow is another one of my (many) favorites of her amazing store. When it comes to creating beauty from over the top ideas, she's the absolute queen of the show. Let's not forget that she created one of my favorite 2011 calendars as well -behold the link below. Leah, you rule!

Alien vs Pooh


Have you ever thought about what would happen to if Winnie the Pooh stumbled upon an Alien infestation? Well, the good people over at Godxiliary have! In Hundred Acre Wood no one can hear you scream...
This is an astonishing cultural mashup, folks, and you'd better enjoy it. Things like that don't happen every day, you know!

The one (or, maybe, two!) that got away


This is a superb addition to the recent Top 15 Zazzle Calendars for 2011 post. I wish I had seen it earlier but it's never too late for presenting great artwork. The Urania 2011 Calendar is full of Franco Brambilla's science fiction illustrations and, man, is he great!
Franco is an Italian illustrator and founder of Airstudio creativity lab, with a rampant imagination and incredible skill. Don't miss his store or you'll miss out on stuff as astonishing as this:


His Invading the Vintage series is based on the idea of aliens invading vintage postcards. And it's very, very good!

Made out of meat



Surreality Watch welcomes you to a strange, humorous masterpiece! It's Stephen O'Regan's short film They're made out of meat, based on a short story by the great Terry Bisson -one of science fiction's true legends.
The film won the Grand Prize at the Seattle Science Fiction Museum's 2006 film festival, and unveils the truth about extra-terrestrials, life on Earth, human abductions, sentient beings and... meat! It's funny, weird, thought-provoking and utterly enjoyable.

Same as the old boss


Where would this world be without our favorite conspiracy theory? Grouchogandhi makes sure that we'll stay up to date with his surreal impropaganda designs. It's time to show that we know who is the new "Capo di tutti Capi" -yes, you guessed it, it's Greys alright!
I just love the bold lettering and the cheap newspaper feel and I prefer seeing it in this deep yellow shirt. It somehow compliments the pulpish sensationalism that pertains to every alien domination statement.
I believe I share many of Grouchogandhi's interests (including Discordianism) and I strongly suggest you take a trip down to his store to admire the splendid weirdness therein.

Death mill


Even Don Quixote would find it a tough deal to attack this ominous mill. An otherworldly sense of doom prevails in this gloomy design by MDKgraphics.  This is no surprise, since the gallery's designs have a tendency to picture the dark side. UFO's, aliens, horror,dark fantasy, fetish are the main thing here -often with a humorous touch.

Abductions can be funny (at least if you're not the poor, surprised pig in this card) but the Canadian artist that lurks behind MDKgraphics is at his best when portraying the paranormal. Did I mention that Surreality Watch loves the paranormal? If you do too -and otherwise you wouldn't be reading this- have a closer look at his work.
