Co-worker turned me on to J. J. Grandville (aka Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard)'s work today and in the great google search for specimens of his work I came across his Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/J-J-Grandville-Jean-Ignace-Isidore-Gerard/33633278415 Neat stuff there including this...
How cool is that??? Ok, I admit to a mantis fetish but go check out his stuff. So I'm loving the idea and of course have to draw one myself so I spent some work time doodling my own victorian mantis.
I'd love to start painting it when I get home tonight or at least finish the drawing... however if I'm going to be a good disciplined girl I'll finish the 3 other paintings I've started first, right?..... wanna take bets on that ?? :)
Love this! Feels a little Tim Burton-y, who gets a lot of love in this house. Do the mantis!
ReplyDeleteI so, so, so LOVE that. It's simply awesome. Now where oh where is the painting my dear? ;)
ReplyDeleteWell aren't these wonderfully disturbing!
