It was originally put together by Christine back in 2003 to coincide with a feature on the Brothers Grimm in Dark Realms issue 10. The various pieces came from several different paintings:

Joseph and I have worked together for several years and amassed an impressive gallery of ghastly delights. Many of Vargo's most amazing Dark Images are now in statuary. Such favorites as "Abandon Hope Plaque", "Death Angel Sconce" and even the "Sarcophogus" can be yours.

More recently, I noticed some smaller-size foil art prints of various 'normal' subjects; all I could think of was how awe-inspring Joseph Vargo's artwork would be if rendered in this style. It would give his gorgeous art a totally different vibe, still dark, but with a shine and some actual texture to it (rather than rendered). ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Garthgoyle) http://monolithgraphics.yuku.com/topic/459 Fri, 12 Jan 2007 17:21:00 GMT http://monolithgraphics.yuku.com/topic/455/t/Winter-s-Knight-Holiday-Cards.html
I purchased a set of the Winter's Knight holiday cards, and they are absolutely lovely. I'm proud to send them.

I put Nox Arcana's "Winter's Knight" CD into my Walkman, brewed myself a cup of tea, and had a ball doing holiday cards. Thanks for making a chore so much more enjoyable.

has your love passed away? and do you think of me at night in stormy weather?

this painting is inspired and helped along by various vargo paintings. the face is thanks to 'succubus,' the lightning was from 'nightmare' and the ledge is thanks to 'unleashed' all from the 2006 calendar. hope you like it. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (alikat) http://monolithgraphics.yuku.com/topic/454 Sat, 30 Sep 2006 06:11:24 GMT http://monolithgraphics.yuku.com/topic/461/t/Monolith-art-on-obscure-stuff-.html

It gave me this strange feeling. Now he's actually looking at me, and I find it very cool.
