Fairy Tales By Sperber

Simple and effective, Benjamin König aka Sperber’s illustrations are beautiful little vignettes and eerie portraits, many of them taken from fairy tales, all of them with a dark, creepy Edward Gorey veneer. I just love these, and it took all my strength not to simply put every single one behind the cut. He has a postcard set for sale that is seriously tempting me at the moment.

    These illustrations are stupendous. I’ve just discovered them and Coilhouse. I’ve done a post about both and added your publication to links my blog about fairy tales.
    I’ll be back.
    Thanks for doing such intriguing, weird, compelling work.

    These are lovely, but sadly they do not ship to the US.
