Note to potential new followers: I block what I view as “X-rated” accounts, because I don’t want my name on re-posts appearing in such contexts, but I do post art that others, perhaps, might view as “R-rated.” Which is to say, please do your research, i.e., browse the archive, before you sign up.

It’s the extremity of Christian iconography that makes the art so compelling. When they water down the iconography, they eliminate the strangeness/mystery of their faith. Church member with an acoustic guitar leading a folk sing-along in a bare room makes religion appear mundane in the extreme.

The bearded mountain dragon's favourite prey is the mountain unicorn. Despite being flightless it is incredibly surefooted, which is essential to hunt its prey. You can order savage strangehollow here: buff.ly/WMSJMQX

Persephone, a.k.a, Red, art by Nick Manabat (1972-1995), first published in "Wetworks Sourcebook #1" (Oct. 1994), reprinted in "Wildstorm Fine Arts: The Gallery Collection" (1998). The intense colour rendering here unfortunately overrides Manabat’s expert rendering in the inks. Flat colours, please!
