Trip to Bristol, Art of The New World

I was lucky enough to have my parents drive me and my finacee to Bristol, because I just could not miss this spectacle, the 2 hour drive was worth it, the room was filled with amazing talent, and I finally got to see a piece of Mark Ryden work live!! I examined every paint stroke and did a sketch of the piece. Above is Liz McGrath with her sparkly cerberus and AJ Fossik with his delicious mad wolf beast.

Mark Ryden

I have been intensely interested in Mark's work since I saw the album cover he did for Jack off Jill, 'Clear hearts and Grey flowers'. Earlier this year, I was in Camden market when I came across a stall, spotting an actual Mark Ryden ring with pictures of the 'Meat train' on it! obviously I purchased it, as you can see above.
