McDougall was a prolific newspaper illustrator in the late 1800’s. His work is sublimely imaginative and bizarre, dancing on the border of surrealist children’s fiction…and nightmares. The captions are brilliant.
I confess, I saved all 86 images in the post because I plan to read them like bedtime stories. Each image is a vignette unto itself, often with a single sentence presenting a strange predicament and/or creature.
Somehow, these fragments coagulate into stories when I see them…hazy at first, but overflowing with possibilities.
See the collection of images HERE.
There Were Three Ghostesses

Whew…say that one three times fast.
Daniele Serra
Posted in art, illustration with tags art, illustration on April 18, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyDaniele Serra is a prolific Italian illustrator and comic artist. I love his dark, chaotic watercolor paintings.
His work has been published in Europe, Australia, United States and Japan, including projects for DC Comics, Image Comics, Cemetery Dance, Weird Tales magazine, PS Publishing.
Beautifully haunting…
Stag & Serpent
Posted in art, illustration with tags art, illustration on March 25, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyStag & Serpent is the work of illustrator, designer and printmaker Glyn Smith.
From the artist bio:
Whilst his illustration is often associated with underground metal bands, (for whom he has created many album covers, posters and merchandise) his work is chiefly informed by interests in the fields of folklore, myth and magick.
His artwork has been featured in several books on illustration as well as in various art, music and esoteric journals. In recent years he has exhibited and sold prints in the UK, Ireland, Europe and the United States.
Mariko Ando
Posted in art, illustration with tags art, illustration on February 9, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyMy unbelievably talented friend William Basso introduced me to the work of Mariko Ando, an artist and printmaker born in Japan and currently based in Vancouver.
What will you find here? BUNNIES. And lots of them. Which is fine by me, because I’m a fan of all things Lagomorphic.
This is probably one of my favorite illustrations ever. One look, and I want to dive right into this place. A squishy, gorgeous bed in a tree, complete with chandelier, my own swing and the company of owls? YES PLEASE.
I love her lush, finely detailed style.
Is this fish holding a “recipe for vegans?” I’m surprised more animals don’t carry around vegan cookbooks.

He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good, or he’ll crush your car with his gargantuan hands as you drive.”
I’m not usually into tinsel, but this is absolutely stunning. It looks like real shimmering icicles.
Ah, that is the question:
Walking in a Winter Wonder Lard.
And now for some nifty Christmas art.
That ornament is about to be pawed to the floor and shattered.
Yikes.
Vincent price goes tree shopping!
