First post #FromTheInspirationFolder - gonna be trying out formats & stuff so bear with me!

Starting with my fave of all time, Georges Beuville (1902-1982) and his wonderfully expressive work.

Another of my favorites #FromTheInspirationFolder

Hermann Vogel (1854-1921) created the most wonderful worlds, chock-full of charming details and intricate linework.

Just such a perfect example of the utter magic of drawing.

More Georges Beuville (1902-1982).
#FromTheInspirationFolder

These illustrations are all from La guerre des Boutons (1966).

A great excuse to post one of my favorite pictures from this amazing illustrator!

I'll try to make a proper #FromTheInspirationFolder later with more of his stuff but I had to share this one cause it's just so absolutely perfect 💛

Still not feeling great, looking through the illustration work of Natalia Trepenok (b. 1953) to cheer myself up so I'm sharing some with you too!

Some of the best animals in the business IMO.

Some of the marvelous illustrations by Jean-Jacques Grandville (1803-1847) from "Public and private life of animals", written by P. J. Stahl.

A few wonderful drawings #FromTheInspirationFolder by E. H. Shepard (1879 – 1976) to commemorate his birthday.

More Hermann Vogel (1854-1921) #FromTheInspirationFolder

I always marvel at his amazing compositions and at how naturally he married naturalistic depiction with ornamental/graphic elements.
July 14, 2024 at 4:03 PM
Some more Georges Beuville (1902-1982).
#FromTheInspirationFolder

These illustrations are from La bête mahousse (1954).
I really love the limited palette in these.

Today's artist: Ferenc Pintér (1931-2008)
#FromTheInspirationFolder

Another big favorite (yes I have many).
I'm always blown away by his masterful work. The bold shapes and carefully crafted compositions, the fantastic combinations of organic/geometric and textural/flat, the moods. Just so unique.

And some more Ferenc Pintér (1931-2008)

From Macbeth this time. Incredibly powerful.

Gabrielle Vincent (nom de plume of Monique Martin) (1928-2000)
#FromTheInspirationFolder

Her Ernest and Celestine books are simply gorgeous, I adore the sensibility and the feel of intimacy in her drawings. Super expressive body language in her characters too - just marvelous.

His Pinocchio illustrations (published posthumously) are really amazing and perfectly convey that this is actually a pretty dark story.

Years ago, over at the Birdsite, I used to do inspiration posts on Mondays to share art I love (usually but not exclusively old and/or not super well known). Been thinking of bringing that back but over here + on Mastodon.

Don't wanna stick to a day so I'll use a hashtag:
