[Russ McIntosh]

My artwork is a mixture of all my influences and passions. From mythology and fantasy to celestial bodies and the human form.

I take inspiration for my art from the surrealists. I'm particularly fascinated by Dali's double images in his artwork - how you can look at those pieces and always find something new hidden within them.

When I was a child, I often laid on my back and stared up at the clouds and would see shapes and images floating high above me. Often times complete scenes would unfold in front of me.

With a vivd imagination I try to present the same essence within my own artwork. If you look at the shadow shapes and highlights within the image, other objects will start to take focus.

Now I'm not going to point them out to you. Some are glaringly obvious, while others may take some relaxation of the mind's eye to see. And some I never intended to be there, but others have pointed them out to me.

Take a few minutes to peruse the images. You can purchase the ones that tickle your fancy or drop me a line. I'm always open to hear from you.
