Arthur Rackham

I really cannot talk about my illustration inspirations and influences without mentioning Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939)... His illustrations was the perfect backdrop to old fairytales, slightly dark, slightly muted colors, slightly surreal... his illustrations are straight from dreams, and subconscious, the stuff fairytales and myths are made of.

It's always cloudy and windy in Arthur Rackham's images... I simply love it. :-)
