I posted about this Russian artist about 18 months ago, when reaching the sites carrying his etchings, drawings, paintings and ex libris prints was a very time consuming process. But Sergey wrote to advise that he has a new slick site with high resolution images available. I love the retro fantasy folk whimsy.

    I see an influence of Maurice Sendak in this wonderful stuff -- anybody agree?

    Nice post again. I've never seen these images before, nor heard of their author. It truly amazes me that work like this can exist underneath the shadows of pop culture, when they are so pressing and present (and I would add, wholly post-pop).

    Thanks again, BibliOdyssey.

    Paul, I've posted a couple of images from Codex Seraphinianus but I note that the whole book was put on flickr recently. It's a delicate copyright matter however.

    Thanks Hugo. Monsterbrains did a post on Kluick last year. All the images online are not very big unfortunately.

    These are wonderful. The surreal whimsy reminds me of the work of Peter Sis.

    Artifact Puzzles sells some of Tyukanov's paintings as puzzles.
