I fell in love, jotted down his name and checked out his site. I bought a "how to draw" book by keith, and it was only 20 dollars.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of him until Alice's mention. Brilliant skill and imagination! Definitely needs exposure. Paul, the pleasure is mine.

A friend turned me on to Keith's work a few months ago, and I 'd been endeavoring to show his stuff to as many people as I could. Such wickedly inventive creations! Additionally, he can effortlessly draw rings around most his contemporaries. Thanks for posting this, Zo!

In their "Appointment only" room they had several Tanning and Varo paintings as well, and also some Varo pencil studies for her paintings and sketches Carrington did in coffee shops when she was 16. I nearly died. I'll show you the catalog I got, some time! @Mer: I got to meet the owners of Frey/Norris gallery a few months back, and I got a very nice little tour of their collection when they had the Carrington exhibit on.

Two of my longtime faves as well. Along with Dorothea Tanning, they're truly the Underappreciated Female Surrealist Trinity. You can see the Bosch and Breughel influence as well. So nice! And yeah, I personally have to chime in with the "ZOMG, make a movie with China Mieville" sentiment. Splorge! Interesting, Tanya… Two of my longtime faves as well.

It, comfortingly, recalls for me two of my favorite artists - Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. I like that piper quite a bit.
