Illustration’s by William Wallace Denslow(1856-1915) for his book Denslow’s Mother Goose.He’s probably best known as the illustrator for L.Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” .Denslow is such a fascinating artist to me for his time his drawings look pretty modern the limited colors,minimalist backgrounds, bold choices like just having a shape as a background,and his cartoonish thick outlined designs are pretty graphically ahead in kids book illustration for the early 1900s shame he didn’t illustrate the other Oz books don’t get me wrong I love John R Neil but Denslows art just has a odd charm to it I want to see in the other Oz books.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 50 likes!

Really Cool and Interesting Comic Panels by French Cartoonist Alain Saint-Ogan from the 1920’s I’m in love with this cityscape he’s drawn! I’ve heard this artist was a big influence on Herge(creator of Tin Tin) which makes sense I can see how the styles blend over.
