One page from Hallucinations. © William Stout (2006).
Welcome to a new dimension of Retro-Futurism. On July 15th, a remarkable book of illustrations entitled Hallucinations came out by William Stout. The Beat just reported that Flesk Publications, which published this book, will have a table at the upcoming San Diego comics convention. The book blurb: "the multi-award-winning artist presents illustrations that capture the very essence of the good folk and odd creatures who populate the dark woods and sun-filled glades of Aesop’s Fables, who wander the wonder-filled roads of the Land of Oz or who tread the blood-red soil of the planet called Barsoom, which we know as John Carter’s Mars."
