Celluloid
Dave McKean is one of my favorite modern artists and his comic book works are astonishingly beautiful and haunting. His unique visual sensibility makes this text-less graphic (very graphic) erotica completely …

Titania lying asleep.
A gorgeous illustration of the Queen of the Faeries, Titania. Despite this particular piece being based on Shakespeare, I'm reminded of Sleeping Beauty as well.

It seemed as if a sudden swarm of winged creatures brushed past her.

Again, Rackham creates an indelible image based on Wagner's Ring Cycle. Thor, also called Donner, is presented here in all of his glory; his cape bellowing in the wind, his hammer held high, a look of …
