Nature Can Be Oddly Beautiful

The illustrations by A. L. Swartz are quiet, elegant, and perhaps startling to those not familiar with Dark Art. Three-eyed creatures, skulls, and exposed anatomy are all part of Swartz's surreal world. He says he creates his "own realm of esoterically-charged flora and fauna, drawing heavily on the themes of symbiotic relationships, the circle of life, and the classic concept of memento mori." You'll find his work for sale at SkullGardenShop and can learn where he'll be exhibiting at Skull Garden.

I love the details in these illustrations. I could look at them for hours.
