1 Darran Robinson

For something completely different, bordering on the weird and wonderful, check out the website of this artist. With skulls, robots and bronze babies, it’s not for everyone and certainly not for the faint-hearted. This artist took an 8 ft whale’s skull, found in New Guinea, and embossed it with 2,000 gms of silver. If this might be too much for your pad, he has paintings, sculptures and even street art. So if you are looking to inject something dark and mysterious for your abode, this might be a starting point for a few ideas.
