Wyeth & Howard Pyle. & then you had people like Maurice Sendak come along & add their flavour into the mix. i think people (especially the artist) will take what you said as a BIG compliment.<br /><br />these illustrations also have like a Hammer Horror vibe to them as well. & i mean that as a compliment. Hammer IS Love. & these illustrations are LOVE, not only because they're Beautiful & Perfect, but, because they're also Nostalgic.<333<br /><br /><br /><br /> girl6https://www.blogger.com/profile/11569067422250197915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-34189992928637853512017-01-31T21:51:21.186-05:002017-01-31T21:51:21.186-05:00For me, there is something about pen and ink.
