If you read my last blog post you will see that i discovered a really interesting artist called Michael Thomas. I found his Victorian Gothic Fairy painting on Pinterest and loved it so much i decided to do a little more research on him as he has a lot of amazing paintings to take inspiration from.
Michael was born in Leicester in 1965 and has been working as a book jacket artist for 15 years now. He says that his typical style of work is realist/surrealist with a Gothic feel.
I find his work so interesting and it really fits in with the current project i am working on which is Gothic Horror.
The picture below is one of my favorites by Michael. It's almost as if the little girl is Estella from Great Expectations and the ghostly skeleton beside her is Miss Havisham.
