“And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, 'Man,'
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.”

Edgar Allan Poe died #otd 1849

New progress update on my Pintober project: Interred: pins inspired by the headstones and statuettes in my local cemetery!
Here are the first two finished pins: elidritch and celestial cherub!
www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

#ArtShop #DarkArt #PastelGoth #Pintober
Two pin designs with rought symmetrical designs. On the left: a red-outlined pin in shades of pink depicting a cherub head and wing design like those in cemetery and church carvings, but with red goo running down the forehead and dripping from the wing, with small white eyes in three places, and a small red bat-like wing on the right side. On the right is the same cherub flipped so the wing is on the right, in shades of blue, with a halo section in place of the bat wing, and a row of three large white sparkles with eyes inside lined up over and above the left eye.

A pencil drawing of a horned satyr in profile, grasping the foot of a figure seated above him so that the foot is cradled against his neck and chest. The rest of the figure is not shown, other than their other foot, which rests playfully on the satyr's forehead.

This woodblock print, published in 1881 (Meiji 14), is a celebrated masterpiece of animal caricature (chōjū giga) from the landmark illustrated book "Kyōsai’s Manga" (Kyōsai Manga) by the legendary iconoclast and virtuoso artist Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831–1889).
Sprawling across the page with wild, theatrical energy, a boisterous assembly of anthropomorphic frogs (kawazu) capers, spars, and parades in a chaotic celebration of animal caricature. Kyōsai’s fluid, expressive inkwork captures each creature in mid-action: near the top, a swaggering frog wears a broad, torn lotus leaf (hasu no ha) as a sunhat while gripping a reed like a drawn sword between its jaws; nearby, companions leap with splayed webbed feet, brandish lotus seedpods (renshō) as ceremonial staffs, or strut in leaf loincloths with inflated, boastful chests. Along the bottom, a procession unfolds as frogs carry heavy loads on shoulder poles and lean on walking sticks, their spotted skin accented by subtle washes of warm ochre against a cloud-mottled paper ground. The print radiates an exuberant sensory atmosphere: a chorus of resonant croaks reverberating through a damp riverbank, the wet slap of webbed feet on muddy earth, the crisp rustle of withered leaves, and the irreverent clamor of a secret amphibian festival unfolding in the marshland. Published in 1881 (Meiji 14) within the landmark illustrated book Kyōsai’s Manga (Kyōsai Manga), this woodblock print stands as a tour de force of chōjū-giga (frolicking animal caricatures) and kyōga ("crazy pictures") by the iconoclastic virtuoso Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831–1889). Trained in both the classical Kanō school and the dynamic ukiyo-e tradition under Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Kyōsai possessed unmatched draftsmanship and satirical wit. Inheriting a long lineage traced back to the famous 12th-century Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga scrolls, Kyōsai deployed anthropomorphic frogs as comic surrogates to lampoon human vanity, samurai bravado, government bureaucracy, and the rapid social shifts of Meiji-era Japan.

Conjuring a good time. Twenty new limited edition prints of this fellow are now available in the shop, each one hand printed, signed, and numbered by yours truly. As always, once they’re gone, they’re gone, so it’s only while supplies last. 🤘
