A Journey Round My Skull

My favorite new blog find of 2009 was Will's A Journey Round My Skull. It features dazzling book illustrations from around the world, with a focus on forgotten illustrators and children's books. Every post is a visual feast. A great blog for fans of graphic design, poster art, etc. Almost every day I find an image I want to live with. Some examples...


From post The Swamp Ladies of Estonia, an illustration from Jüri Arrak's Panga-Rehe Jutud:



From post The Raven, an illustration from Lorenzo Mattotti and Lou Reed's The Raven:




From post Frolicsome Flowers of Evil, an illustration from Frolicsome Flowers-They See the Wonderful "Rajah Rug" by T. Benjamin Faucett (I'd like to use this on a party invitation):




From post Iranian Kids' Books, Part 2, an illustration from Farshid Mesghali's The Blue-Eyed Boy:




From post Rokuro Taniuchi 5:



...and on and on. I haven't even begun to dig into Will's (I don't know his last name) blogroll, but it looks amazing, too.

Ah, as a young lad I looked much like thy blue-eyed Boy - sensitive with a wan and pallid face and yet possessed of a well-rounded head.
