A Blazon creation can bring you back to childhood fantasies; days where you used lie in the grass and entertain yourself for hours simply from your own imagination. But look closer and you will see things are a little more crooked and dark than simple friendly fantastical images. The well dressed frog displays his stomach organs, the cherubic children are roasting an old man on a spit, and beside the doll house, a dragon lies in wait.
"My drawings delve into the imagination and explore the lines between the fantasies of a cerebral life and the harsh realities of the natural world. It is in the intricacies of my my drawing's fabric that the magic of these two worlds collide." -- Courtney Blazon, herself.
Many of her pieces are framed in antique windows giving some of the more spectral images a romantic and dreamy vibe. Anyone who has seen one of her bookmarks or cards has surely noted the incredible detail. Each piece looks like it took about a year to make, which is how long one could spend gazing at one. I don't want to spoil the show by revealing too many images, so I will simply leave you with a beautiful lady with seaweed hair who looks like she can't be trusted.
