Strange and Enchanting creatures created by Pat Lillich. Satyrs, centaurs, gargoyles, and assorted other creatures winged, hoofed, and horned, stepping from the mythic borderlands where human and animal shapes merge and transform.
Lillich offers this apt quote from C.G. Jung on her website: “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” More
Bafefit’s works are characterised by his skilful rapidograph drawings (often realised in ancient papers from the 19th century): pen and ink which was initially created for technical drawing and which has been pushed to the extremes of its capabilities by artists.

Totally loving these magical gifs by Texan photographer Ignacio Torres.
“This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.” More

At first sight,in Claudio Souza Pinto‘s series “Lovers and Fools” look like a fantasy world, but the artist explains it better: “They represent our daily routine’s situations.
Sometimes you see a man melting down for his lover, sometimes you see a corrupt politician or an artist that needs to work his hays to the bone to survive from it work. He transforms daily situations with surrealism into fantastic and funny images. More
