I'm so into...

JOHN KENN MORTENSEN

This artist draws images that look like the inside of my mind (not all the time, don't make it weird, sometimes the inside of my mind has a lot more sexy fan art).  A Danish artist sometimes known by the name Don Kenn, Mortensen somehow mixes magic and innocence and horror to evoke that intense feeling of being a child, alone in a dark forest, or a wide ocean, or a grim city street.  I don't know why I find the drawings whimsical and almost charming sometimes... not all of Mortensen's monsters are as horrifying as others.  Some are pretty adorable.  But it's the sense of possibility that they inspire that make me want to fill my house with them.  They seem like something out of a fairytale or a nightmare (and most old fairytales are pretty nightmarish.)  

 
His book is available on Amazon and I just realized this while looking up pictures for this post!  So BLOG OVER, goodbye, I'm off to spend money.
