Alex Gross is this week's featured artist. Here's a great description from his book:

Surrealist artist Alex Gross features striking, dreamlike imagery that transcends category. Gross paints a haunting m lange of fairytale, allegory, history, and pop culture, fusing eastern and western aesthetics in an ethereal world populated by kimono-clad Japanese women and lost Victorian dandies. In more than eighty exquisite color images, comprising all of Gross's gallery work, silk screens, etchings, and sketches, this volume illuminates his singular blend of realism and whimsy. Embraced and collected by art connoisseurs and lowbrow fans alike, Gross's work is both enigmatic and irresistible.

I overheard Craig talking about a Garfield comic called Arbuckle that reminded me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The artists remove Garfield's thought bubbles and now the comic is all about Jon. Some of the strips are kind of weird. So I was reminded of another Garfield "spinoff" where Garfield's thought bubbles are removed from the original comics.

Maybe I just like it more because it's the original Jim Davis art (totally awesome), or maybe I just like it because it's described as "surrealist". Either way, no one likes Jon. Except maybe this guy, who likes to post and explain every comic! Because they are confusing.

Apparently this strip is about "…the implication that Garfield is using Jon's absence as an excuse for binging and being sedentary; telling himself he's only doing this because Jon's not here to stop him, as if he would behave differently otherwise." Who knew?

This is Bob Flynn's illustration for Roger Omar's book, Elmonstruodecoloresnotieneboca, ("The colorful monster has no mouth", duh!), a collection of childrens' dreams. Here's what Bob had to work from:

I was in a planet with a lot of volcanos, and it was too hot. I was walking when a big lava-monster jumped out from a volcano. I threw laser-rays from one hand, and ice from the other hand. The monster threw gigantic lava balls. I could not beat him until I threw ice to him. Weakened, the monster went inside the volcano and did not came back.

This totally reminds me of the dreams I had after drinking a thimble of NyQuil and reading Goodnight, Moon when I was a kid. Here's two more:
