The Gnarled Branch

Founded by David Irvine in 2004, The Gnarled Branch is an artistic venture out of Brampton, Ontario that focuses on visual art and repurposed furniture and decorations. The level of skill shown in David's work is incredible, with a strong attention to detail and a creative and unique flair that shows in every piece. His invocation of pop art and cult classic icons in his work showcases a connection with the counterculture undercurrent of multiple types of media. My favorite of his works, the Zombie Jewelery Box (as i've been calling it), is a repurposed jewelery box hand painted with classic horror film zombies, including a stunningly well done nod to Night o the Living Dead.
