A saint's graceful dance

This is my latest vector-based design, the silhouette of a saint with the grace of a dancer and a bird perching on his hand. I hope it conveys an easy, fluid feeling. The kind I would expect someone who has achieved a unique level of balance and stability to radiate.

As for me, I'm rather proud of the balance of the design -it didn't come easy. I was thinking of a relaxed kind of power, as opposed to the destructive kind we are used to. I'm not sure this is religious. It could be, in a subtle, non-dogmatic sort of way.
As always, it is for sale on a great variety of products under the Saints Dancing category of my zazzle store.

A man is a flower

This may well be the weirdest t-shirt I've seen. Watch the surreality levels rise: a man with an orchid for a head meditates in a lotus position while levitating above a carpet. Exquisite eccentricity from a true master, J. Riddle of Gallery Bizarre. Nothing stops his imagination from running wild with dreams and nightmares, using sketches, paintings or mixed media. This store is hot!

Combat fatigue

Dan by Visionsfromafoxhole
Shop for art on zazzle.com

Talking about grisly death: these tired and shocked eyes have seen more than anyone should have to put up with. This drawing does not serve fiction. It is a great poster with a painting drawn by William A. Foley Jr, a World War II veteran and renowned artist, whose craftsmanship gives a narrative of life on the front lines.

It's not often you see such a moving, expressive portrait. I do hope that the soldier depicted made it home and found someone to soothe away this heartbreaking glance. It's not just a work of art, it's a snapshot of mankind's painful march through destruction. Find out more about Mr.Foley and discover his work in his Visions from a Foxhole store. Such an artful documentary should not be missed.

The subtle delights of cloudswinging

Make personalized letterhead on zazzle.com

This surreal concept is laid back and dreamy. I love the calm feeling and the sense of freedom it gives. It was a pleasure to create and I was lucky enough that it got noticed and awarded as one of September 16th's best among the thousands of products that see the light of day at Zazzle.

This silhouetted man that swings from the skies is quite minimal and graceful, if you ask me, and it works just as good on a t-shirt as on the parallelogram format of paper stuff. You can find it in the Cloudswinger section of Surreality -don't be shy, have a look!

And here's a little something to convince you that it's great even without the angles! Not bad for a design that started as an offshoot of something with a really different mood and approach.

Would you fancy a grumpy, miserable little fellow on your tote bag? It could, actually, prove to be a great idea, since we're talking about a hilarious and well-crafted vintage illustration. This guy's expression is priceless!
I found this black and white bag at the Tartan Phoenix shop, a place where vintage designs abound.
