“Land of the Sleeping Things”: Beautiful Retro Inspired Works of Dan McPharlin

Australian artist Dan McPharlin is known for his surreal sci-fi landscapes and precise model-making.

His work avoids clichés, blending WWI-inspired details with soft, post-apocalyptic scenes. Influenced by 1970s visionaries like Roger Dean and Syd Mead, McPharlin’s style is both nostalgic and original. Though offline since 2015, his legacy lives on through projects like *Moments Lost* and his imaginative LEGO builds. Each piece invites viewers into quiet, speculative worlds rich with mystery and craft.
