The art of Dan May




I first came across this great artist in a pop surrealism magazine. Dan spends his days (and nights) painting dreamlike environments that transcend space and time. These delightfully haunting images are often based in personal observations of both human’s and nature’s relationships with each other. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout the US and abroad.



I love his drawings especially. The delicate, lovingly drawn characters evoke emotions deeper than just whimsy and intrigue. They are genuinely beautiful in their own right, and the cross between imaginary doodlings and wonderfully silverpoint drawings by the old masters is a really magical, dream-like combination. I think these are superior to his Dali-esque landscapes, even though those are pretty freakin cool too!

Okay, I'm gonna kick things off with my own site. I make all sorts of weird and wonderful items, using as much recycled and found items as possible. I am an artist and inventor, focusing on sculpture and a variety of different types of clay. I have plenty to add to my site, which at the moment only has a small proportion of the things I make.



At the moment I am focusing on developing a number of puppets and marionettes, with dark and disturbing themes! I hope to add them here real soon!
