There is something morbidly fascinating about the dark and grotesque. Although it is human
nature to tiptoe around the uncomfortable (or avoid it altogether) some artists are inspired
by the unsettling to create intriguing works of art that push the boundaries of normality and
provoke viewers into exploring their fears and taboos. There are also others who use them as
springboards of the imagination to express their innermost feelings and question the often-grim
realities of existence. In conjunction with Victionary's 20th anniversary the new edition of
?DARK INSPIRATION' combines most of the projects from the first two best-selling titles of the
same name along with new work into one meaty celebration of the macabre. Featuring chilling
depictions of childhood reveries folklore mysteries and death in a variety of styles and
interpretations each project serves unconventionally as a celebration of life in all its
gruesome glory.
