Guest blog by Arwen’s Thermo Pics I’m super duper excited to share this blog post with you! Last year I met a gorgeous lady in Hobart while down there for some Quirky Cooking seminars. We share a love for good food, the Thermomix, and food photography. Oh, and halloumi cheese. Yep, halloumi is high […]
Fusing charming portraits of wildlife with the severe trappings of historical costume, Bill Mayer (previously) creates darkly fantastical worlds in his detailed gouache paintings. A frog poses in royal dress, a pearl-draped mouse looks ready for a ball amongst massive wedges of cheese, and a rhinoceros stands ready to defend his territory in a suit of armor. The accomplished illustrator lives in Decatur, Georgia and has had a long career as a commercial artist. More
In 2009 on a quiet Los Angeles corner, Mel Elias found a severely water-damaged, crumbling 5,000-square-foot house hidden behind a tangle of overgrown vegetation.
For Christoph Niemann (previously), all it takes is a halved apple or pliers lying around his studio to spur a quirky drawing featuring the random object. The illustrator is known for his Sunday Sketches, a weekly drawing series, that play with scale and position. Imbued with humor, the cleverly arranged compositions turn a red pencil into a megaphone or a splayed book into a cat’s whiskers. Although Niemann usually lives in New York for part of the year, he’s been working from his studio in Berlin since the onset of the pandemic. More

Pallas, who is a self-taught photographer, was previously […]
Berlin-based illustrator Kaethe Butcher draws girls with fiercely unique personalities. Written words are dropped onto her drawings, revealing the internal thoughts of young women figuring out the complexities of love and life. Her quirky characters are the kind of girls who smoke cigarettes in bath tubs while contemplating their existence in a chaotic world. Many of Butcher's sweet, sensuous drawings border on erotica. Butcher's women waver between losing themselves in passionate throws and drawing away in jealous suspicion. They question their lovers just as they question themselves. The combination of exacting body language, block text and a monotone color palette reinforce her character's inner world as opposed to her physical actions or being.

This captivating piece draws its roots from the unique aesthetic of Edward Gorey, with a twist of our own expressive creativity. Adorned in a palette of sober hues with touches of crisp white and intense black, this work captures the quintessential essence of a group of cats in a meeting that feels slightly ominous, a nod to Gorey's distinctive artistic style. It's an aspect that's engrained subtly within the detailed strokes, allowing for an enchanting blend of charm and mystery. The striking visual narrative of this painting creates both an immersive and fantastical atmosphere. Yet, there's a comforting familiarity to it that cat-lovers would find incredibly endearing. The cats in the painting, each unique in form and character, are brought to life so vividly, you'd think they were about to jump off the canvas. Their intricate expressions, combined with the quirky ambiance of the scene, have a way of resonating with viewers on a personal level, marking a sign of true artistic mastery. As a gallery, we take pride in featuring artwork that evokes a spur of emotions while encompassing a range of artistic influences - in this case, the undeniable signature of Edward Gorey. This artwork of a group of cats is an eloquent testimony of our gallery's dedication to exploring new depths in the realm of art. Ultimately, the ultimate goal is to provide art enthusiasts with the opportunity to own original custom canvas and digital prints that are not only visually stunning, but also rich in meaning and narrative depth. This Gorey-inspired piece signifies both, positioning itself as the perfect addition for someone looking for an aesthetically pleasing and emotionally dynamic artwork.
