I got myself a little birthday present today, a book on the art of Mark Ryden, called The Tree Show. Specifically, the book is the catalog of his 2007 LA exhibition of the same name. You can flip through some of his work in the paintings section over at his official site but the cover to the left gives an accurate idea of the theme, which is "creepy children". You may find the style a little familiar and that's probably because he has a done a ton of commercial art including album covers and book covers. I recalled, in particular, the Stephen King novel, Desperation.
