I came across Walton Ford on Art21 (PBS) and I am in love with his natural history style (surprise..) But if you look closely, he hides little fucked up happenings. Some of his other illustrations are pretty raunchy but I like these two the best. Ian and I were convinced he illustrated "Animalia", but I just looked it up and it aint him..

Hah good call about the book Animalia. I remember that:)
ReplyDeleteAnyways I love this guy, thanks for sharing Kelley!
I watched a quick video where Walton Ford showed his studio and talked about his work. Really interesting. He said that while hes painting he checks his work by looking into a rear view mirror from a car. This helps him catch any mistakes that the naked eye would ignore since the mirror makes the image smaller and crops it.
