Get lost in the magic of Danse de Lune (formerly Art and Ghosts). She’s a UK-based illustrator who has a penchant for colorful folklore and dark, dreary skies. I love the multilayered, fantastical feel that these pieces have. They’re soft with a lot of visual oomph – just look at all of the tiny, intricate details! Danse gives us some insight to her work, writing:
The larger part of my work is concerned with the protection and welfare of nature, children, and non-human (occasionally magical) creatures: perhaps as a result of my earliest experiences and a sense of close identification with the hidden, nocturnal things which speak an unknown language. Animals concern me especially, whether magical or quite ordinary.
Dreams and the unconscious (Jungian) also play a predominant role in my work, alongside symbolism, mysticism, folklore, mythology and fairytales.
