The misty grunge effect gives a mysterious glow to this purple altar cloth, deepening the look of a floral wreath with a collected aesthetic -- it's made from original photos, watercolor graphics, and clips from out-of-copyright astrology manuals and jewelry catalogs.
Vintage typography cut from old advertisements and an out-of-copyright horror anthology, tracing out a tough trio of investigators. ... so yeah, I wasn't done making Lockwood & Co. fan art.

Look at all those lovely, beady little eyes searching for treats. Stamped and distressed chicken faces are not actually guaranteed to make sure that crickets never bother you again... but they can't hurt.

With some elements adapted from the 1856 Jones "Grammar of Ornament," some originally drawn -- including a tjet knot, eye of Horus, and water lily set -- this collection of icons adds spectacular 1920s Egyptian Revival flair.

"... then, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true." The characters were designed as young, female versions of the timeless Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson... a reference that fans of the various adaptations are likely to catch, given the frequent use of the quote! -- but will please any mildly preppy STEM enthusiast.

History wasn't really in black and white... and certainly not just white! Original biracial, Black and Middle Eastern characters in historic garb remind us that there's a lot of history beyond what the people in charge thought to record.

When I came across the base illustration, I instantly thought of Shirley Jackson's last novel, "We Have Always Lived in the Castle." Can you make out the faint "poison" labels branding the face of literature's least likely femme fatale?
