oh delight. a friend pointed me toward these illustrations by Raquel Aparicio of Ávila, Spain. I know that this breed of “creepy pretty” art is sorta huge these days, but this girl does it right with a lovely sense of vague foreboding.

Wow, she’s really good! Nice work!
I love it! It reminds me of my children’s books that were published in the 50s, which looked so cool with only a few colors of ink and effortless sketching. I especially like the last painting!
omg! thanks so much for posting this — so dark and beautiful! i love the beetle-cello thing.
Exactly what I thought, Heather. Almost Dr. Suess-y in a way, esp the cookie monster girl. She looks like a lovely, stylish Who-ville Who.
Those pictures are gorgeous, I like the delicate faces and the patterns.
love the touches of yellow! love your blog too! maybe you’d like to exchange links?
hugs
