Bewildering Beauties<\/a> is a new series by American artist\/illustrator\u00a0Marie Gardeski<\/a>, Weird, right? Right. Everything Marie makes is weird.. and I love it all! I was curious where her bizarre compositions come from. Does she dream them? Do they just randomly pop into her head? This was her answer when I asked:<\/p>\n

“I just surround myself with weird miscellaneous objects and images… \u00a0I’ll draw these things, not really trying to make the drawing look like the original, but infusing it with a new, more intense personality. \u00a0I’ll draw the same character again and again, each time creating a new beast or beauty. \u00a0Most of the time my ideas start with an element or character… \u00a0One thing suggests another and each drawing develops into a somewhat cryptic vignette. I rarely plan or sketch a piece before beginning. \u00a0This makes the marks more immediate, exciting and sometimes wobbly. \u00a0I think my favorite part of making art is being able to surprise myself with a mysteriously weird or funny image.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
