Richard Huber has combed many sources to assemble the images that follow, most of them coming from the dark side of man’s imagination. Some of these creatures are the product of mythology, legend or religion and appear in a variety of interpretations: the Chimera, the Sphinx, Satan, dragons and mermaids. Others are the creations of individual imaginations, and appear only once: the bizarre concoctions of Hieronymus
Bosch or Salvador Dali. The selection spans time and culture, from prehistoric rock paintings to Max Ernst, from the masks of black Africa to the gargoyles of Notre Dame. All have been rendered faithfully in crisp black-and-white illustrations that lend themselves to use as spot illustrations or simply as a source of inspiration to designers and craftsmen.
