A photo blog of inspirations and ideas for chimerical constructions. Favorite fragments from illuminated manuscripts, marginalia, antique book pages, classical drawings and paintings of sirens, griffins, majestic felines, fantastical birds, angels, demons, obscure beasties and other mythical creatures.

I absolutely love this.
ReplyDeleteI just hope my cats don't see it and get ideas. They may aim at someone other than mice.

ReplyDeleteIt didn't even occur to me that he wasn't orange.
ReplyDeleteThe first comic book???
