Hailing from France, illustrator DZO has that enviable ability to put his wildest imaginings on paper in a way that is both concise and stunningly detailed. His inspiration is full of Earth magick and spirit, life and death, fire and water, entwined in a lover’s embrace on paper, bark, stone and bone. His inks sweep across the page, leaving in their wake a whirlwind of movement and texture; looking at his work, I feel myself pulled in, buffeted in his creative storm and thrown into a dream universe. Every last line adds to the saga told in each of his pieces; none is superfluous to its meaning. His foray into drawing on bone and stone shows his unbelievable talent, imparting detail that would be at home on a 18″ x 24″ canvas onto a tiny stone or a textured area of skull. DZO’s illustrations are breathtaking, check out a selection below…you can contact him via his Facebook or also check out more of his portfolio here.
