Franco-British cartoonist and writer George du Maurier died #OTD in 1896.

He is known for work in Punch and a Gothic novel Trilby (2nd novel), featuring the character Svengali. His first novel, Peter Ibbetson (1891), was a modest success at the time. The third novel was a long, largely autobiographical work entitled The Martian, published posthumously in 1898.

British cartoonist and writer George Du Maurier in the middle of his career.

Historical and Public Figures Collection - New York Public Library Archives.

Du Maurier’s expression in these photographs is typically calm and composed, with a slightly introspective or serious demeanor.

His face is lean and defined, with high cheekbones and a prominent nose. By this point in his life, there may be signs of aging—lines around his eyes or forehead, suggesting a man who has spent years in thought and creativity.

Du Maurier sports a full, thick beard in many images from this period, often trimmed neatly to complement his serious, professional appearance. His hair is typically dark, though starting to gray, and styled with a side part. His beard and mustache frame his face, adding to his mature and distinguished look.

A person without a head pushes a hand trolley on which is placed a giant stone head. The head is several times the size of the person and rectangular, with harsh, craggy features and empty eyes. A small hole on its cheek suggests that it might be a mask. The head is a dull, stony blue. The ground and background are bright green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#PennedPossibilities Which of your characters scares you the most? Why is that?

Currently, Xavier is an adorable, sensitive, curly-haired four-year-old boy who talks in sign language, but if he loses his connection to humanity, his ability to completely silence the Ethereal Realm could be devastating. Everything and everyone would stop.

All that power in someone so young and vulnerable can make me hold my breath.

#art #history: when georges franju chose a young edith snob (born #otd in 1937) for her first (admittedly, small) role in ‘head against the wall’/‘la tete centre les murs’, she cut her thespian teeth alongside such luminaries as jean-pierre mocky, charles aznavour, anouk aimee & pierre brasseur. this experience set her up nicely for the film that made her famous: 1960’s ‘eyes without a face’/‘les jeux sans visage’. [thread-ish]

digital ink interpretation of a film poster for the french horror film, 'les yeux sans visage'.
it features edith scob as the heroine, christiane, looking forlornly from behind her mask, bright blue eyes filled with pathos.
a deep pink spherical shape sits behind her head & above her is the title of the film in canary yellow & deep pink. all this is over a starry black background.

THE GHOUL WITH THE PEARL EARRING (2012)
Oil - 20” x 16”

A fun tribute to Vermeer’s masterpiece...executed with leftover paint. 1/4

#horror #horrorart #illustration

A horror homage to "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. A ghoul in a green trench coat tilts its head back offering a tight, awkward grin. Its yellowing teeth are a match for its unnatural eyes. A blue scarf is wrapped around its long forehead and a grey teardrop earring hangs from its ear. The background is loosely rendered, framing the subject off-center in circle that looks like a large rusting porthole.

A person's head and shoulders. The face has no expression. The head and shoulders are a sort of monochrome blue with a slight highlight that makes them look as though they're carved from metal. The background of the drawing is blazing crimson. Where the person's eyes would be are red numerals displaying 12:00, like a digital clock that momentarily lost power.
