Blanche the rise of grim dark: a review.

John Blanche is my favorite painter. His nineties action figures designs meets the northern renascence painting tradition destroys me (other painters I love for some context… Zak S and Max Ernst. H. R. Giger, Mathew Ritchie, and Yoshi Toshi). John Blanche was a comercial artist, this is a great sin in the eyes of the traditional art world. He also was a concept artist for toy solders (possibly an even greater sin). All that adds up to is that there is no large format coffee table book of print of Mr John Blanch’s work by Taschen books. Which is more proof we are in a rotten timeline. After having read John Blanche biography I walk confident that I can be a fan of his work without guilt on a moral outrage level. Many of my favorite painters are amoral fuckers. John from all the sacred writings in this books seems by every measure a fundamentally decent person. Coming across as, wise, kind, and gentle. Never mind he is one of the most neglected artist of measure in history. Never mind…
