Mark Ryden Snow Yak
Maybe you're familiar with Mark Ryden's work. Maybe you don't know his name but you look at his work and say "Ah yes I've seen his paintings before!" That was the case with me. However, after inspecting his work in more detail, I've got to say they are pretty full on. Sort of adorable and cute and safe but the exact opposite at exactly the same time. The mad, toy pussy cat things are my favourite I think.

And! I even found a place on Etsy where you can buy some postcards of his ----> HERE!

I hope everyone has a super weekend. It looks like it's going to rain all weekend here in Sydney - oh dear what a shame I'll have to stay in and draw.....
:O These are so cuuuute!

I like Mark Ryden! Outre gallery have a lot of his work. Or at least they did last time I visited. Have yourself a lovely time drawing over the rainy weekend Sam. It's a nice day here so once I've finished my coffee and blog visiting I'm off to play in the sun with my cameras :) xo

Wow. Imagine if Mark teamed up with Dreamworks or Pixar to make an animated movie. It would be truly epic.
