Sidney Sime

[ via ECTOPLASMOSIS] – Sidney Sime is best known for illustrating Lord Dunsany’s work, and was much admired by H.P. Lovecraft; here are some great images of his artwork, mostly for Dunsany stories (note the Beardsley influence). The picture above is from an out of copyright book called Fancy Free, available online at archive.org thanks to Microsoft’s scanning project and the University of California libraries.

May not have had Beardsley’s technique, but hot damn! This guy goes hunting where I go dreaming.

Heh, I didn’t even notice the connection I made to ammo. Get it? Hunters use ammo. Get it? Ammo? Dream? Get it? Get it?

Ach, the place I go dreaming is cool, but then I wake up in this silly place.

Have your say
