Hi! I'm not sure if you're active on Deviant Art anymore, but I decided I would make a comment anyway I've been a fan of your art for years--even before I considered joining this website! I adore Gorey, German Expressionism, and Severus Snape, and you've got it all. I guess to make a long story short, you are the reason I'm on here to begin with, so thank you I hope you're doing well!

Dear Doctor,
I'm thinking about stopping posting A Summer in York here on dA. Chapter 8 is up at ff.net [link]
Thank you for reading so far

NauticalAcronym [2011-01-27 18:32:53 +0000 UTC]

I was just wondering- does the style of your art have a name? I tried looking up information on this type of illustration fairytale art, but nothing came up.
Any idea?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dr-Mabuse In reply to NauticalAcronym [2011-01-29 06:45:46 +0000 UTC]

There is really no name for it. Line art, perhaps? I can give you terms to look up though: pen and ink, scratchboard, etching, wood engraving.

Wood engraving is an important one to know -- don't be fooled, woodcuts and wood engravings are completely different things.

Line art is like the violin - very versatile. It can be simple or complicated, cheerful or ominous.

Here are some names to look up:
Joan Hassall
George Cruikshank
Hablot Knight Browne
Thomas Rowlandson
Thomas Bewick
Mark Summers
Edward Gorey

That's a place to start.

And don't look these up online!! This art was meant to be seen in a physical form. My originals always look better than what gets uploaded.

Thank you for all the info and your help. I know what you mean about things looking better in the physical form- I sometimes find my own work looks odd or just not quite the same once I'm viewing it on a webpage.

I recently added you to my watch but I didn't know that I had in fact favourited many of your pieces before such as the Pirate Jenny image. I know of few people who appreciate The Threepenny Opera enought to draw about it, it really is a wonderful musical and I especially love your drawing. I also love your Snape/Hermione sketches, they are adoreable. I love your artistic style in drawing so I would especially loe to see more of it

hi there ~ sorry I haven't been around very much recently ~ my brother has commissioned me to do the artwork for his next CD (he's a musician ... obviously!) and it's taking me all my time to search for stock that's OK to use in commercial work. I've just realised that you're not actually "watching" me ... it might be a good idea to if you want to see updates in my journal I had to disable my comments, journals and devwatch because I just don't have time for all that at present I've missed you visiting me, tho ...

Hope you're well, and speak soon

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dr-Mabuse In reply to Gild-a-Lily [2009-11-19 01:40:24 +0000 UTC]

No, I never did officially watch you. You would always have something every day or so, so I would just check regularly. But I suppose a watch is now in order.

I have been absent for a while now too. I'm going to post something about that soon.

I wish you both luck on the CD. If you want any stock from me, let me know.

Why adventurous? The subject or the technique?
