DEREK BACON

this image, which on his website is called 'the horse and the cow from the dog heads', is an example of how Bacon combines illustration with photography and collage. the effect being a confusing jumble of reality and imagination. his images are always strange, but done in a photographic style, making them seem like a record of a moment which actually happened. i don't normally like clean and perfect pictures which are heavily manipulated, but Bacon has a very innovative and unique style, and his subject matter is always entertaining.
