Artistic Interpretation of Literary Figures

Posted by Charley Parker at 7:11 am

This is an individual’s collection of art, mostly by comics artists, on the theme of lilterary figures. It includes drawings and paintings that offer the artist’s interpretation of literary characters, as well as portraits of writers (and occasionally artists). (The image shown is a portrait of Dante Gabriel Rosetti by Barry Windsor Smith.) The site is part of the Digital Medusa site that hosts several other collections of comic art.

Site Quirks: The "clever" navigation is absolutely terrible, and the galleries require that you click back and forth, but the images are interesting enough to be worth the trouble. My suggestion is to Control-click (Mac) or right-click (Win) on the links and tell your browser to open the link in another tab (or another window if you're still using IE).

[...] You can also find some nice drawings by Windsor-Smith on the Artistic Interpretations of Literary Figures site, which I profiled in October of last year. [...]

Lines and Colors

Lines and Colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
