picspam: Charles Vess

[personal profile] dangermousie's post on Stardust has reminded me that I never did the Charles Vess picspam I intended to do a while back, so here it is.

I love Charles Vess. Thanks for posting those!

ditto. I just wish I had more of his books.

Do you read Faerie Magazine? I believe they did a nice piece on his work awhile back.

I need to get more of his stuff too. I have 1001 Nights of Snowfall and Stardust, but I've read a lot more that had illustrations or covers done by him.

Some of that man's stuff, especially the pen and ink pieces-- if I hadn't seen a particular one before and you told me it was a lost Rackham masterpiece, I'd believe you. *wants to go dig out all that Sandman and Books of Magic work that Vess did a decade or two ago, wherever the heck it might be in this house*

Yes. I love his paintings, but there's something about the pen and ink pieces that's amazing.

There's this otherworldly quality to his work...it isn't pretty, but it's all so beautiful...

His artwork is gorgeous! Were you already aware that his website (the news page) is syndicated on lj at [livejournal.com profile] greenmanpress?
