Finding inspiration in art

Its no secret that creators of something from nothing regularly take inspiration and cues from art, among other things. That is why I must share with you the fantastic collection of images from the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections of Cornell University Library - The Fantastic in Art & Fiction.

Drawn! recently posted about this and it is an amazing reference.

You’ll find hundreds of rare illustrations and inscriptions of demons, devils, and other fantastic creatures.

Imagine the possibilities

Staring back when we stare up,
Stars store hope that the truly great things
Have yet to come.

NOTE: pretty words from a pretty boy are positively pointless

Storyrules has gone without attention for some three fortnights and will continue to be so for the next several days. In my absence, please check out the wonderful cartooning and illustration blog Drawn!
