I came across this blog earlier today - http://tombagshaw.blogspot.co.uk/
I first saw one of his paintings(?) on tumblr yesterday evening. He paints the ladies/men in a 18/19th century style but adds a vulgar twist such as horns, rats and stretched ears.
i love the way he has Modernised such an old style of painting and made it something very current.
I would very much like to try something similar with making old painting modern and disturbing.
His blog is full of strange and Unique painting such as aliens and other oddities
( on further inspection i think they may actually be photoshoped? )
