Hallucinations

More about the book

Taking his cue from legendary creators of early 20th century storybook illustration, modern master of the visual arts William Stout presents his impressions of the strange and sometimes terrible inhabitants of the worlds of literature, cinema, and popular imagination. The multi-award-winning artist presents illustrations that capture the very essence of the good folk and odd creatures who populate the dark woods and sun-filled glades of Aesop's Fables, who wander the wonder-filled roads of the Land of Oz, or who tread the blood-red soil of the planet called Barsoom, known as John Carter's Mars. Be they animal, vegetable, or mythic in nature, Stout's ink-and-watercolor images breathe vibrant life into crafty fox and humble scarecrow, terrifying sea serpent and deadly dragon alike.
