This was an assignment where we had to take an artist's piece and draw it in our own style/inspired by it. I decided to go with one of Arthur Rackham's 'Alice in Wonderland ' illustrations :)
Here they are side by side!

René Bull doesn't often feature in the list of famous early 20th century illustrators like Rackham and Dulac, which is a shame because there is a deserved place to be had I am sure on the edvidence of this 1912 Arabian Nights just stuffed full of rich, dreamy illustrations.

"Like a foam-topp’d waterspout
Cast down headlong in the sea,
She fell at last;
Pleasure past and anguish past,
Is it death or is it life?"

Christina Rossetti was born 1830 in London

The Russian tale Frost is quite shocking to modern readers, as it teaches girls obedience to father figures at all costs to ensure survival. Young Marfa lies & gives Frost the answer he wants to hear, & is thus spared from a freezing death. Img: Rackham, 1916

BEWARE JACK FROST This icy, hoary figure can be traced to a poem by C. Sangster in 1875. In 1902 he appeared in L. Frank Baum, author of the Wizard of Oz & is re-imagined by Rackham in Fairy Book 1916 & Wonder Book 1922 🎨Rackham; Ravenscroft

To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.
