From Canadian artist Francis Koch at Uberbrain, art that mixes Art Nouveau design, steampunk elements and a post-industrial grit. It's like Alphonse Mucha with sinister animals instead of languid nymphs.

BioE!

Those are beautiful! The overall design and palette, the earth tones and use of strange overlays of splotches (is that a coffecup stain in the top right corner?) are all cool elements.
The birdbot thing is my favorite, though the X-ed out eyes of the other birds are a bit freaky.

We saw a horse gas mask at the AMNH...apparently they were all the rage during WWI! Nothing as artistic as these though...=)

It's interesting that the "illustrations" are so much stronger than the "paintings." I notice, too, that your selections are drawn from the former pool. What's my point? Dunno.
