Illustrations of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”

I felt so terribly in love with this illustrations, they render the novel beautifully. When I’m grown up I want to be as good as him. :)

I’ve never heard of him before, but oh, my goodness, he is now one of my new favorites. Wow.


I don’t remember him not having a nose in the book :O he’s more like buff Erik! but man alive I love these illustrations! they are beautiful!

This guy’s art is just literally breath-taking. I remember seeing some of these in my Illustration class and was blown away. Even ended up drawing that face in the second illustration for an assignment. I respect the linework and amount of detail in these so much. I can’t even with these.

Kriemhild showing Hagen the head of Gunther (her brother) to make him tell her where he hid the treasure of the Nibelungs.
Needless to say, it did not work.
Currently writing a paper on this and the symbolism of blood in the Nibelungenlied. How anyone can not love Middle High German is forever beyond me
