Harry Clarke

I'm pretty into traditional fantasy and fairytale book illustration at the minute.
I like how Harry Clarke's work can span from charming to terrifying while remaining consistent. His use of crazy intricate pattern makes his drawings multilayered and authentic, sometimes believeable, even though it's a picture of a sea witch.

Found a blog full of illustrations from old books

They're super intricate and mystical. Here's some of my favourites so far.
