Mark Ryden (born January 20, 1963) is an American painter, part of theLowbrow (or Pop Surrealist) art movement.[1] He was dubbed "the god-father of pop surrealism" by Interview Magazine.[2] Ryden's aesthetic is developed from subtle amalgams of many sources: from Ingres, David and other French classicists to Little Golden Books.[3] Ryden also draws his inspiration from anything that will evoke mystery; old toys, anatomical models, stuffed animals, skeletons and religious ephemera found in flea markets. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ryden
