Okay, I know I updated recently, BUT BUT BUT--

I've been waiting ages for this package to arrive, and I'm so excited!

It was a package of two limited edition prints by one of my favourite artists, Ursula Vernon. She's, er, probably best known for being the person who painted the Biting Pear of Salamanca. A few years ago she put out a limited print illustrating a plague doctor as the Taxman. This year's release was also of that character, and I just had to have them.

I received the package last night, but I was too tired to be excited about it.





Taxman II, the sequel. Better version in her gallery here. This one is #2 (there were 80 prints produced).


Tea with the Taxman. Better version in her gallery here. This one is #2/60.


I'm just so happy about these, ahhhh. I can hardly wait to get them framed. I still need a proper frame for the original Taxman, actually - right now he's just in a cheap plastic postercover, guh.

I hope that some day I'll be able to own one of her originals, ahhh. But right now most of them are wayyyy out of my price range.

Eeeeh, plague doctors! ♥ It must be their bird-likeness, but I always find them strangely cute while most find them creepy.

And so that's where that pear thing came from...

I find them terribly eerie - though more for the connection to the plague than due to the appearance. And they're just so cool, ahhh

And YES. That's where the pear comes from. Mystery solved ;)

Wow, those are so awesome! It's a really interesting concept, combining those two figures. I've always loved the plague doctor aesthetic (if you could say there is such a thing XD); it's cool you have these!

Those are some gorgeous plague doctors!

If I ever had the chance to dress up on Halloween, I'd love to dress like a plague doctor. They are so cute, I love their masks ;_;
