Ivan Bilibin: Russian Illustrator


























I found out about this Russian illustrator a couple of years ago, when his work was on show in Groningen (unfortunately never went there). Most of his work focused on illustrating Slavic and Russian folktales, like Father Winter and Baba Yaga. I really like the atmosphere and eye for detail. His work reminds a bit of Mucha's, but more graphic or flat and stylized.  Maybe this could prove to be a nice reference on how to illustrate a fairytale, which the Swan Children of Lir is.

Cheers,

Tom
