ILLUSTRATION MAGAZINE #80 Pruett Carter
Highly Recommended. Featuring the work of Pruett Carter, known for his beautiful slick magazine illustrations during the 40s and 50s, many featuring lovely ladies and handsome young men for fiction stories. His work reminds us of the "buttery" style of Haddon Sundblom. Next is Charles Lasalle, known for his Walter Foster instructional art books but also superb classic magazine illustrations in the 1930s and 40s. His masterful draftsmanship is a sight to behold.

THE LIBRARY OF ESOTERICA Plant Magick
Recommended. Edited by Jessica Hundley. A new release in this comprehensive series from Taschen. From root to vibrant blossom, Plant Magick uses artwork past and present to explore the fertile, interconnected history between plants and people, the multitude of ways in which we embrace plants in spiritual ceremony, as healing medicine, as creative muse and as gateways into deeper explorations of consciousness including marijuana and hallucinogenic posters and art.

The tale of the young princess, Snow White, and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known — the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life. But what caused the Queen to become so, well, wicked? Perhaps the Queen hated her stepdaughter for her resemblance to the King’s first wife. Perhaps she resented the girl for her beauty. Could the Queen simply have been born that cruel? Or does it have to do with a mysterious mirror, gifted to her upon her wedding and swirling with dark magic? Disney Hyperion, 2023....More.
