About the Author

Mark Ryden came to preeminence in the 1990s at a time when many artists, critics and collectors were quietly championing a return to the art of painting. With his masterful technique and disquieting content, Ryden quickly became one of the leaders of this movement on the West Coast. Over the past decade, this marriage of accessibility, craftsmanship and technique with social relevance, emotional resonance and cultural reference has catapulted Ryden beyond his roots and to the attention of museums, critics and serious collectors. Ryden s work has been exhibited in museums & galleries worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Ryden Gems, August 15, 2009

For such a low price this is a great collection of Mark Ryden images printed on postcard sized stock and made to look like vintage postcards. The edges are curved and slightly yellowed which add to the charm.

It looks really cool. Haven't had the heart to open the package yet. I was planning on framing the cards when I had the time. Good art is always worth it.
