Google image search "Mark Ryden" for more.

I like it but think the some of the overtones in the imagery would be too much for some - You'd have to be brave to leave it somewhere unattended

Sort of Lewis Carroll meets Tim Burton meets Salvador Dali

good description

thanks for the link nooch
wow, some edgy stuff there

noches airbrushing is nothing less than fantasic......................
unfortunatly his themes leave folk a bit bemused...........to say the least..................
if only he would concentrate more on the" less wierd."...........he would be more appreciated .............

ha ha im doing alot more less weird stuff at the mo... needed that 'different' untried 'shock' value on my scoot to get it noticed and break away from the football, film, music, quadrophenia, and war themed scoots that are no norm as custom themes.
must admit that some of mark rydens work was a bit too weird and risque to put on me scoot...clever though

Probably some of the best airbrushing I've seen.
Nooch, am I right in thinking this isn't your proffession?

yeah thats right... but hate my full time job and hoping with enough interest in my work that i can have a go at airbrushing and seat covering full time instead

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING

I wish you luck - don't waste your talent

I think Mark Ryden is brilliant for the same reason I used to like The Beautiful South. The cutesy extreria has a very dark underside.
Scooters that shock especially the public are way overdue a comeback. The edgier the better for me.
