Beautiful and eerie mixed media pieces by Brooks Shane Salzwedel


single conifer (2009)


look tower (2009)


witch's broom (2008)


antenna alaska (2008)

These are becoming one of the main inspirations for the mood of my new project; the strange, lonely and eerie feeling that these images give.

Hoof Shoes - Iris Schieferstein

I just fell in love with these art pieces by German artist Iris Schieferstein.



Vegas Girl 2009

I think they just so....haunting. And surreal. But really beautiful as well, in a fantastical sort of way. Of couse I'd be tempted to wear them, but I doubt they were made for me galloping around in them.

Some of her other works (which are equally as mysterious and strange)...



She Imagined... 2004


Hotel Eden 2006

As a Resolution for the New Year...

I hope to make a post a day.
Even if it's just something I come across whilst browsing the internet.
Hopefully I'll be putting my camera to good use and photographing the progression of my work.

Here is the current eerie scene from my bedroom window.
We British don't get extreme weather very often, but when we do it's hard to avoid talk of it.

Eerie Art

Whilst browsing through Sci-Fi-O-Rama a couple of days ago, I found Simen Johan
A photographer/artist hailing from Sweden, his exhibitions use photographs of a variety of animals set against bleak and desolate landscapes, giving a strange and creepy atmosphere. Along with these images are strange and surreal 'sculptures', (I would call them taxidermy, but that doesn't quite seem right), creatures that look more like they belong withing a nightmare or horror movie.
They remind me of creatures that are conjured up in the dead of night by a childs imagination.
Beautifully haunting.
