Merz: WOW! I'm honoured. Where are those pictures from? The first whirlpool one is amazing, and so is the person buried alive. absolutely incredible pictures! They go into my mood folder.

Your archivically-informed style is why you're one of my top favorite posters, Merz.. Damn, very enlightening. Reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley, to sound typical.

if it wasn't for you and klangspiel, as well as several others on this board there would be a whole universe of stuff i probably would never get the chance to hear of, let alone actively seek out.

Yeah, Clarke's illustrations are great but I think his stained glass work is even more impressive.

Call me crazy but if you like that sort of thing I always considered Charles Burns a sort of bastard contemporary. I can't claim any direct lineage is apparent - more of a feeling.



Maybe if Harry had illustrated At the Mountains of Madness.
