Tacky Fantasy Art

I LOVE Fantasy Art!

Not just 'good' Fantasy Art like on StarWars posters, but BAD Fantasy Art.

The kind of art that people who hoard dolphin ornaments like.

When I check the time I like to be 

hypnotised by regal Dolphins!

It's the kind of art that belongs to people who spell 'Fairy' as 'Faerie'.

It's the art you see on Biker Chick's t-shirts, the ones with howling wolves and full moons and dream catchers!

It's a secret (not anymore) pleasure of mine to bathe in the ethereal glow of hideously gaudy and tacky Fantasy Art.

Here is a collection of some of my favourites at the moment, enjoy!

I start you off with a classic example. This one has everything, a Noble wolf (most likely a mother-wolf), a full moon and a Native American with a peace pipe.

I especially like the reversed(?) reflection of the wolf in the moon. Last time I checked, the moon only reflects light, not wolves. Magic you say? I think so too!

Find this picture in the house of that person who has that 'Magic Happens' bumper sticker on their car.

 Probably drawn by a child Wizard

 Often the feature of Fantasy Art is the ever Majestic Unicorn. Dazzling Horse loves this one especially, although not as cool as a 'Pegacorn' (winged unicorn) the fact that it's doing a magical skid makes it really something special.

I call this one 'Wolf's Lullaby'

I like this one because the White Wolf is a Noble and rare creature. The use of what appears to be a Spiral Galaxy only enhances the Wolf's Majesty.

I also love that she is wearing a Dazzling diamond necklace... most likely a tool of hypnosis.

I leave you with a reminder that today marks the start of 'Movember'. So start growing your resplendant Moustaches!

Check out Lightning Heart's blog about Movember while you're at it and help her raise some monies!

Rant About Spoz!

Spoz is a man, a man who reviews thousands of bands in Adelaide - Spoz's Rant.

He is frighteningly dedicated to the Adelaide music scene and he pretty much never sleeps.

The first time I saw Spoz was when I moved to Adelaide about 4 years ago. He was at a show, Expatriate at Rocket Bar I believe. He was an untamed beast, swinging his wild mane on the dance floor to the electro-dance-pop-rock of Expatriate.

Since that day he has reviewed my band twice, one hideously horrible review, and one pretty awesome review.

His age is anywhere between 30 and 850, he sports a majestic and luxuriant mane of hair that is the envy of Dazzling Horse!

He takes millions of yellowy/red photos like this one, picked purely at random of course:

Radio Spectacular!!!

He also (I found out recently) is the drawer of amazingly epic and majestic fantasy pictures! This one is off his deviantart:

In all, he's a super guy, that may look like a hardened warrior returning from the throes of a pitched battle, but once you get to know him, he's alright!

I give him ***1/2 stars (hehe) for being alive in general and for supporting rigorously the Adelaide music scene.
