This is a painting by Mark Ryden. The title is "ROSE" and its from the series "BLOOD"... "miniature paintings of sorrow and fear." if you've ever picked up a copy of the magazine Juxtapose there is a decent chance you've seen his work. He has also done album covers for artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ringo Star, Butthole Surfers, Jack Off Jill and more. Born in Oregon in 1963 and raised in southern California where he still lives and works. California is where your most likely to see one of his exhibitions (see link on right). What i love is that he catches you off guard, which in these days i feel is hard to do. The eyes on his characters are so moving. The colors, the details, to fully see one of his paintings you must really take your time because there is so much to see. Please check him out :).
