THE DARK GOTHIC SIDE OF MICHAEL WHELAN

SOMETHING IN MY EYE and hey, yeah, it’s my other eye! Duh! Whatever you think of it, the truth is only a master painter could make this look real enough to get you to react to it at all! Image Size: 240 x 233mm in 60mm mount to overall 360 x 353mm.

This detail version cuts out the background and lower part of the guy's body but you get a real in-your-face look at the eyeballs! Image Size 180 x 265mm in 50mm mount to overall 280 x 365mm.

This appears to be a take on Snow White in a somewhat Gothic vein (excuse the pun!). Whatever, it has always been one of the most popular images in Mr. Whelan’s darker work. It is an image size of 320 x 220mm in a 60mm mount to overall 440 x 340mm.

For those into the works of writer Michael Moorcock this must be one of the best paintings of Elric ever done! Image Size 110 x 155 mm. Mounted in 40mm mount to an overall 190 x 235 mm

From the books of writer Michael Moorcock here is Elric is the Deamon Slayer as he raises his rather gruesome soul-sucking sword for the death blow. This one is 510 x 660 mm. Unmounted. You may recognise his work from the book covers of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern books as well as Moorcock since he was one of the main cover artists for her books.

This is one of our great favourites. It kind of makes you not want to answer the door after dark, doesn’t it? Of course, it’s the realism of Whelan’s art once again that makes it work so well. Image Size 320 x 210mm. Mounted in 60mm acid-free mountboard. Overall Size 440 x 330mm

From 'The Gunslinger' trilogy (part 1) by Stephen King. No matter how many he shoots they just keep lumbering on in their masses. How does he get away? You'll have to read it if you don't know, won't you! Image Size 320 x 220mm. Mounted in 60mm acid-free mountboard. Overall Size 440 x 340mm

Louise Foley is now a "Double Bright Spark" for providing the following info for this print - "Apparently 'Buffo' is usually a character in an opera, a clown type (maybe where we get buffoon from). Anyhow, the print is from a book cover called "In Viriconium" by M. John Harrison. This book was retitled "The Floating Gods" for American release. It was first published by Timescape in 1983. I haven't read the story but from the bibliography I would assume that the subject is either the artist who is a main main character or (more likely I think, judging from the explanation above and below) one of the two "Floating Gods". "Much of In Viriconium addresses the impossibilities of making art in a truly decadent society, in a world where no one cares. In Viriconium, the only possible art left is intrigue, which sucks up the artistic urge much as the plague sucks the life from the town's citizens. The protaganist begins to realize that the answer lies with the Floating Gods, the idiot Barley Brothers. What is their mystery, that they behave like morons and cover themselves in filth? And why do they so fascinate the City, much as we are fascinated by the idiocy pouring from our television sets?" .....so there you have it ! Read the book, buy the print, eat the lasagne, end up like Garfield ...

Yep, I definitely never put him on my mailing list but then that doesn't look like any door in my house...is it one of the doors in your house? Better check, eh? Image Size 320 x 210mm. Mounted in 60mm acid-free mountboard. Overall Size 440 x 330mm

Image is 320 x 195mm in 50mm mount to overall 420 x 295mm. Another classic from Michael Whelan. It is both horrific and surreal at the same time. A great image for this sadlt defunct band!!
