Dubious Figuresby ~squidink

Traditional Art / Drawings / Surreal

An idea that appeared one night as I was staring at the ceiling. I'm still wondering about it myself.

Staedtler pigment liners, micron pen (sepia) on drawing paper, 8"x 10"

Impressive. I can't stop looking at it. Perfect, perfect inking.

Fabulous! That background is amazing- I use microns myself. I see you have a little Harry Clarke influence yourself. Like yourself, I rarely meet people who have heard of him or CA Smith. What a shame!

Thank you for the comment and for adding this to your favorites. I think I've gone through so many micron pens that there's a micron pen graveyard somewhere in my room. I count Harry Clarke, along with A. Beardsley and Kay Nielsen as big influences, but Clarke's pen and ink illustrations are still my favorites.

Yes, I also have dozens of half-used microns everywhere (I only use them while they give a nice smooth line). I first came across Clarke's work in an old issue of Nyctalops when I was twelve and I've loved him ever since. I have his bio, plus Poe's collection and Faust (my edition is from the 1920's but doesn't include the color plates-I found them in a Time-Life folklore book). I only have one book from Kay Nielson, but his stuff is nice too. As for Beardsley, I own about 8 or 9 books of his work. It's too bad he died so young. From that period, I also like Edmund Dulac and Arthur Rackham.

Ah, the Golden Age of Illustrators.
