Where does the art on the website come from?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where the art on the sites (BPAL, BPTP) came from (ie: artist, media, etc)?

 

It seemed like it'd be a general BPAL query but I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks, y'all!

I know some of the art beth uses is edward gorey. i believe the carnaval noir art was actually created by a forumite, but i dont want to get the name wrong cause i can't remember exactly who it is!

a great deal of the art is by gorey and beardsley (though i'm sure i spelled that wrong).

 

some of the art (carnaval noir comes to mind) - including the CN postcard - was done by Macha

It's largely Harry Clarke, Aubrey Beardsley, and Beresford Egan with some other stuff thrown in.

 

Basically, illustrators of the Fin de Siecle era.

 

Edit: Yes, I did the Carnaval noir labels and postcards. :P

The labels are amazing! I loved the little ferris wheel on Midway - it was so darn cute! I didn't want to hand it over to my sister when she came to claim it :P

 

Beautiful work, Macha! :D

Thanks so much! I was going to make a storage box, and I wanted to keep true to the art of the site - and be able to tell people whose work it is :D

 

Thanks!

Macha! I ment to say so sooner (but I'm a dork and forgot)- I LOVE the postcard! It's so fantastic with that little skull painted like a clown and complete with jester's hat. :P

 

I had it up by my teller station for a while, but brought it home so it wouldn't get "lost" by the cleaning people or coworkers.

With my latest order I got a postcard with artwork that looks like it could be Harry Clarke, but I can't be sure. A man and a woman wearing long dark robes and then two other groups of people in the background dressed similarly. It captured my attention so I was curious if anyone knows the name.

I'm positive it's a Harry Clarke drawing, but less sure of the exact source.

I got a postcard with my latest order that's just so cool. It's full of people dying, being eaten, being tortured. Oh, and there's a pig wearing a nun habit. Anyone know who did this? :P
