Here are some illustrations from cartoonist Abner Dean’s(1910-1982) book “It’s A Long Way To Heaven”.Abner Deans a cartoonist I’ve become a bit obsessed with for one thing he’s very mysterious there’s not a lot of info on him but mainly for his art obviously just from these alone you can tell Dean had quite the imagination his surreal cartoon drawings in this book can range from interesting to disturbing but no matter what I love them all and I’m a bit upset we can’t know more about this artist.
Wayne Barlowe is a legend! I have the original copy of Expedition and I hope Cryptozoo becomes a thing because Barlowe is an underrated storyteller in my opinion.
Paintings and Drawings by Wayne Barlowe for an unrealized project called "Cryptozoo." Barlowe hasn't revealed much about it other than that he's written a screenplay for it and has been shopping it around for years now. Personally I can't imagine how this would work as a movie, but it seems ideal for the Barlowe's Guide format...

Another sketch for the Griffin design
the reposed
the sea overflows
only the poet knows
nebulas in new lows
protestors that appose
sunk in the shadows
a symphony compose
it wants to feel repose
and it goes
trying to gloze
just for it again to overflow
flow
for the first time in ages
it goes through all the stages
ambages
outrages
and then everything stops
the sun is no longer bright
the cold is no longer irritating
the stars no longer shine
the telescopes purpose erased
until everything slowly died
everything dies
everything
is now nothing

If you were to ever pass through a thrift store, a library or some place that is rather old and/or of great importance somewhere in Pepperland, you might have come across two bizarre looking creatures surrounding instruments that measure time, weither that be a large clock, sundial, or more commonly even large decorated hourglass'. These two creatures are believed to either guard the flow of time, or are the embodiment of time itself, one represents the forward flow of time being the future, and the other represents the backward flow of time being the past. These two can sometimes very rarely be seen in visions by wielders of powerful magic, or priests, flitting through what is presumed to be the Sea of Time or some other void of space. There are no recent records of these beasts ever contacting anyone outside of certain fields... but some say if you have the right reason in mind, you might be paid a visit via a vision.
OK um wow! this!... shouldn't have taken as long as it did, like this painting took years to get done, meaning I started it years ago but then forgot about it and only recently dove back into it with new meaning. I've been trying to get into painting for a long time now since it's a form of art that has intimidated me for many years, and I've wanted to delve into making digital paintings but I never really knew where to start, until I got the newest version of photoshop and started messing around with the brushes at my disposal. I did start this in clip studio paint and ngl I'm happy I moved this to photoshop since the brush I found there helped me get a good grip on where to start my painting practice :)
I want to make more paintings in the future but for now I hope you enjoy this one I finally finished ^^
I based this off of a series of pieces by radishezrom (go check em out!!) don’t do drugs kids
