The Night Post

Hello,

Haven't put anything Night Posty up in a while. Been cracking on with it though and expecting some colour tests back from the printers soon which i'm excited to see!

In the mean time, heres a small section, of a small panel, on a 7 panel page! (thought that wouldn't give away too much).

Toodleloo! x

I want to be where the people are..

I recently read Hans Christian Andersen's The Mermaid and was so deeply affected by it, it was all I could think about for days.

I became a little obsessed with mermaids and found a whole load of fantastic illustrations and images. The book I read was a collection of fairytales illustrated by Edmund Dulac (found HERE on my friday favourites). I also then ordered a copy illustrated by Charles Santore (found HERE on my friday favourites). Both of these beautiful books i'll put up on The Worm when I get a mo.

For now here's some of my favourites:






















---
1- If Mermaids Wore Gloves, The Ladies' World, Page 18, 1896
2- Arthur Rackham
6- Edmond Dulac
7- Charles Santore
9- H. J. Ford
10- Herbert James Draper

Coraline once more

Eeeeee :)
I am so very excited that Chris Riddell is illustrating the anniversary edition of Neil Gaiman's Coraline.

This sample image is from Neil's Journal.

Both Gaiman and Riddell are absolute favourites of mine.

You can see some of Chris Riddell's work plus a link to his website on my Friday Favourites page HERE.
