  2. There is so much emotion in these illustrations! Am also fascinated by the makeup on the ladies' faces. Would be fun to do some editorial photography inspired by these.

  4. some images like these were
    similar to the graphics on
    my grandmother's wallpaper in
    her bathroom...they scared the
    hell out of me as a child.

    I thought they were ghosts.
