Carrin Welch’s Four Rocking Horses of the Apocalypse project brings childlike glee into the end of the world. This young lady is riding Death, or is Death incarnate, depending on your interpretation. War and Famine can be seen on Welch’s site, but Pestilence is yet to be unleashed — via Neatorama
Parking Squid
by artist Susan Robb is a tentacular squid sculpture and bike rack. The squid is currently installed at the Seattle Centre. In October it will be moved to a permanent home on a Seattle street — via Laughing Squid
The project was to do a comic page and cover. I had doodled the original sketch for this page awhile ago during another comic page project and I love the connection between deep space and deep sea so i was excited to go about it — via deviantART

Edvard Munch’s masterpiece The Scream has sold at auction for $120m (£74m), making it one of the most valuable works of art ever sold.
The 1895 pastel was bought at Sotheby’s in New York City. Bidding began at some $50m, and lasted for just 12 minutes.
The work is one of four in a series by the Norwegian expressionist artist and was the only one still owned privately — via redwolf.newsvine.com
For a new line at work, experimenting with a style similar to some band posters I saw for the Black Keys etc that looked that bits of paper made into a mosaic. These are pretty time consuming but fairly fun — via deviantART
Hells yeah, more iPad tentacles, enjoyed this one. I should really do a more polished version though, with a Wacom and everything. Hope you enjoy — via FuzzFace

Max Dalton’s pop culture prints have caught our eye on previous occasions so it’s exciting to see some new work from him, this time celebrating the 50th anniversary of James Bond.
The prints were created for a screening of eight of the Bond films in San Francisco but are pretty cool for any fans of 007 — via Retro To Go
Ancient deep sea divers — the nautilus has firmly imprinted itself in the human psyche. This sculpture titled Cephalopod
takes direct inspiration from these amazingly graceful creatures.
This piece marries found object and handmade castings beautifully. It’s body is an old cast iron blower housing; the eyes
are cast bronze (cast from original waxes). The tentacles are forged steel square nails, peeking out from it’s beak
, which are unique cast iron pieces — via Etsy
I can do it all — via deviantART

Another fun experiment with colour and graphic brush strokes. Relative of Blue Crab, Rainbow Pig, and Painted Shark. This time I painted the colours as a solid block, and put the grey over the top. Way easier than painting a bunch of tiny coloured stripes — via CrashOctopus Blog
