The Fantastic and Gothic Art of David Palumbo

A Mosaic of Images From The Gritty Gallery By David Palumbo

Fantasy art and illustration has a beautiful and rich history. From the beautiful and titillating Margaret Brundage covers for Weird Tales through the poster, magazine, and album art of Frank Frazetta to the contemporary work of Marc Silvestri, artists and illustrators have brought color and shape to worlds of wonder. Be they scenes from the past, the future, or lands that never were, art plays an important role in fleshing out description and dialog.

Into this worthy tradition comes artist David Palumbo. Be it the historic flight of the first woman cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, in June 1963; the return of the Cthulhu and the Old Ones to destroy a modern metropolis’ a Victorian image of Jack The Ripper, or creature art for the trading card game Legend Of The Cryptids, Palumbo brings a strong eye for detail, light, and color that immediately draws the eye. Parts of his paintings show detail with clarity, where others are intentionally vague. The figures often suggest a kinetic sense of impending motion that no photograph could properly convey. The faces are caught in expressions of terror, struggle, or bewilderment.

He has two collections of his work, Quickie and Quickie 2, that explore the female form in oil paint. They are available through his personal web site (see below.)

Visit his web site, dvpalumbo.com, to see more of his work. Galleries include standalone works (such as those above), illustration art for Magic: The Gathering, and contemporary fine art. He also has a blog, and is active on DeviantArt and Twitter.
