I like the humor and the sixteenth-century sensibilities.
I've long thought that such olde-time art has a graphic and emotional impact which very little modern art has.A good example of faux olde-art is found in the wonderful monster-descriptive drawings/woodcuts in the books in the Buffy show. I really wish I could get hold of good scans of those drawings.
Ooh, ooh: can anybody recommend books with the original kind of woodcuts and typography which has inspired the drawing above?
Thank you eolake! I'll let Rick know you did this and ask him for some book recommendations...
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could contact the show's producers and ask them if the book accessories are for sale now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eolake, I like this a lot !

Are there any gaming resources for Buffy? I know there are a lot of tie -ins for Firefly which are targeted at hardcore Browncoats, so they are not shoddy toys. (made by Quantum Machanix)
ReplyDeleteYou may try Dark Horse publications for similar stuff.

I've always loved comics and SF, but I've never been into the toy part of that whole thing.
