Eye Candy : Ray Caesar

Bringing you all something a little different today. A friend brought these to my attention and I thought I'd share. Ray Caesar's art is equal parts whimsical and weird, which makes it all sorts of awesome in my book.

A little about the artist, from The Art & Pop Culture Encyclopedia:

Ray Caesar (b. October 26, 1958) is a visual surreal artist and digital painter residing in Toronto, Canada. He has exhibited at the Mondo Bizarro art gallery in Italy.

Graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design, Caesar went on to work in the Art and Photography department of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, where he has documented various child inflictions in sketches. This gruesome experience has enabled Caesar to create surreal landscapes and models with very detailed photographic textures. Caesar uses 3D modeling software, Maya with figures and environments built out of Nonuniform rational B-spline surfaces.
