I am trying to find an artists name. He does black and white ink drawings?

Question

I am have no idea who the artist is, but I think he is somewhat famous for his morbid ink drawings. An author actually used it for a cover and I am trying to find his name. The cover I have seen is a floating head. Any help?

I have no idea what the book is either. I know not much help, but I know all this artists work is in ink and most of the pictures are very morbid and gothic type. He did a couple of pictures with these floating type heads that had like a line attachted to it. I am trying to find one he did of a simple angel, but I can find that exact picture after I have his name.

Nope not Alex Grey.

Nope not H. R. Giger, either. This is an older artist I believe that is dead and my have been around in the early 1900's or late 1800's.

Thanks for all the help everyone! It is Aubrey Beardsley.

Answer 1

Could you perhaps be thinking of Aubrey Beardsly? That was his era. Thank You.

Answer 2

H. R. Giger has artwork that looks like ink, it often shows up as science fiction book art or calendar works.

Answer 3

I'm thinking it may be this one author who has an alphabet story about death? I can not for the life of me remember his name, all I remember is reading a short story that started out with: A is for (insert name) who died (insert way of death) and he also illustrated it. UGH!!! It's on the tip of my tongue!
