Spotted Online – The Scarecrow and Tinman Unlike You’ve Ever Seen Them Before

There’s a lot of fun websites online that feature unusual artwork from other lands. I’ve already pointed at A Journey Round My Skull a few times, and it was at that site that I encountered Curious Pages. I recommend you spend some time exploring the site, and to get you started I’m pointing you directly at . . .

The Wizard of Oz illustrated by illustrated by Arnost Karasek. Published in 1962, these cropped images of the Tinman (above) and Scarecrow (below) are highly stylized and unlike any versions of the characters I’ve seen before. For the full versions of these two shots — and more illustrations from the book — jump over to this post at Curious Pages. Gorgeous!
