For The Love Of.......

I absolutely adore the paintings of these two artists:

Very controversial but nonetheless appealing. I love SAS's depiction in massive eyes but Mark seems to be very deep indeed. Just makes you wonder the contents of true artists' minds. I'm probably more your Fuzzyfelt type of artist. What I can't make Ballerina's do is nobody's business!

weird and wonderful how did u come across these?

Yes Yes! I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve Mark Ryden!!!

He designed an album cover of one of my favourite bands, Jack Off Jill:

SAS from a music forum I used to be with, and Mark from my older brother who's always been a fan. My mother used to ban my bruv from showing me the pictures when I was younger - she found them disturbing.

I guess they can seem a bit disturbing but in a nice way! If that makes sense haha... they're pretty cool. I love that album cover!

I love the name of the band, too! Must give them a listen to some time!

The Burying Beetle, by Anne Kelley brought a tear to my eye a few times I can tell you. It's about a 12 year old girl's struggle with a rare heart disorder and her quest to find a burying beetle in Cornwall becomes an obsession after she reads about it. It's not as zany as it sounds.
