An interesting look at Mordern gothic art. Fantastic surrealist styles, computer generated art and sculpture in styles from manga to gore.
Something for everyone with a dark tinge to thier tastes.
Fantastic notes accompany each piece which explain a little about each one, its artist and what was used in making it (including computer programs). A must for any art student looking to explore thier darker side through modern art.

I’m a big fan of the arts, thou a have no real talent myself. I guess that’s the beauty of it. I have no artistic talent and always wonder in amazement how they could possible do that. Some of the images that appear in this book I have seen before and had no idea that they were considered gothic art as such. The wonders of art!

The book is divided in to a range of different section, but overall it is still classified as gothic art. The sections are femmes fatales, men in black, gothic show more elegance, industrial goth, lurking horror, dark fantasy, creepy creations and grim comics.

Some of my favourites are:

3 by Leslie Ann O’Dell (www.shyble.com)
