Yesterday's post about Laura Laine was quick and on-the-go, but what I really wanted to do was point out how much her work reminds me of art Nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley. Laine's work, like Beardsley's, emphasizes darkly exaggerated movement and expression, and elongated figures.
With 100 years between them, Laine and Beardsley could be illustration soul-mates. And I mean that in the nicest way.

Yes! I have always loved Beardsley, I have quite a few books about his work. He was a total genius.
