The Only Thing Worse Than Being Blogged About is Not Being Blogged About At All


Greetings True Believers!


I discovered this little treasure trove of fantastic art a few weeks ago.


Hey Oscar Wilde is a collection of drawings and paintings of famous writers and famous literary characters, beautifully rendered by some of the best illustrators around. If you love great literature, especially genre fiction, and you’re really into comic books and awesome fantasy art, this site is like a gallery of your dreams.


A few examples:



















Robbi Rondriguez, Hunter S. Thompson



















Mike Mignola (of Hellboy fame), Jacob Marley



















Mike Huddleston, Captain Ahab


It’s the kind of awesome idea that makes me wish I’d thought of it first, because I truly envy the guy that started the site for his rapidly growing collection of incredible illustrations.


So go find your favourite writer!


Nuff Said!


-Jay
