alice wellinger
I’m scared, but completely smitten at the same time. It was literally impossible for me to put this post together without creating some kind of disturbing narrative… the Jekyll/Hyde wolf boy next to the burning underpants? Yep, that’s gonna tell a story whether you want it to or not! These are the beautifully bizarre works of Austria based artist/illustrator Alice Wellinger. I love all of them for various weird reasons, but it’s this sweet little purple coat that really got me:
It instantly brought tears to my eyes and made me miss my amazing grandmother… and her beautiful, wonderful, complicated life.
Oh, I love this! And I love your grandmother so much because of the story you wrote about her. So beautiful. xoxo
oh, thanks jessica! yep, the only thing that would have made this piece more perfect – if the coat was pink ; )
Thank you, thank you for posting about this. I think this is the first time I’ve stumbled into Alice Wellinger’s works. The ones shown here are beautiful, creepy and haunting and I like it. A lot.
