New York painter Marc Dennis stretches botanical Latin to breaking point, while producing some beautifully witty paintings. His work is highly skilled and hugely enjoyable. I particularly like the subtle references to Looney Tunes characters in his series of flower paintings.

There’s a great series of drawings on his website. Marc is skilled draughtsman with top skills in comic style illustration.
Assholes on cellphones # 4 (I can’t explain. OK)
Jesus F*cking Christ #1 IRAQ
World Trade Center #5 Madre De Dios
The only drawback to his site is #6 In Charley Parker’s list:
Use tiny, square thumbnails with a nondescript crop from some obscure corner of the artwork.
… and (worse), big images that vanish when you move your mouse from the thumbnail, to prevent you saving the image. This obviously does not work, otherwise I would not have been able to present you Marc Dennis’ work today.
Ah well. Enjoy.
