Thnks so much for posting this. You've just sent me scrambling to find the copy Jefferey gave to me ten years ago.....and I'm embarassed to admit that I didn't know I'd gotten one of only 1000 copies.
Do you know TH White's The Book of Beasts? It's a translation of a medieval bestiary, and a book White set great store on. Very odd, but not as odd as many things he wrote...
to some extent, I feel Emmanuel Houdart's work has a bit of this fantasy. http://images.google.fr/images?q=emmanuelle+houdart&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1GCNV_fr___FR356&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=3F-bS9DMKc6v4Qa92cSIAQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBIQsAQwAA
i dont think ive ever come across a blog with so much inspirational material for me...i want to draw everything!!! keep digging. it's a true cabinet of curiosities xxxxx
