Site Contents:

Fairy Tales are the myths we live by.

Art Passions is primarily about artists and illustrators whose works I grew up with. I encourage you to explore this site and learn about the works of Arthur Rackham, Gustave Dore, William Morris, John Bauer, Aubrey Beardsley, Edmund Dulac, Virginia Frances Sterrett, Kay Nielsen, Adrienne Segur, Sulamith Wulfing, Warwick Goble, the Preraphaelites and others.

Currently working on: I am back on updating the William Morris page. And making tile. The Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast tile panels are particularly interesting. The whole process is really fun.

The Parrish page is also getting an overhaul.

Longer-term:

Florence Harrison, Edward Detmold, Charles and W.Heath Robinson, Arthur Dixon.

Confused? Artpassions is just the art (the free online gallery). This page is a little chatty. Other starting points include:

General Site Layout

Art Passions (you are here): General introduction and orientation to the site, art gallery and descriptive index, a few online books, and especially the Frequently Asked Questions.
Site map (but also see visual contents section on this page) and links to resources for: books, posters and artprints, calendars when in season, out-of-print booksearch tool, web design resources, and web design portfolio.

Personal pages: How to color Ukrainian eggs, the cats' homepage, Psychology of Religion, personal and practical matters, and the kitchen sink.

What Else is Here...

It's more than just a gallery.

Artists: Some artpassions visitors who are also artists show some of their work here.

Did you know you can send a free ecard from any gallery image on Art Passions? I've started adding that feature to Artsy Craftsy as well here: How to Send a Free E-card. There was some problem with the postcard script when Art Passions moved to a new server, but I believe that's fixed.

Questions? I may have answered it in the FAQ. If not, you can write to me using the link at the bottom of this page or you can message me. I can't really help you appraise art by these artists, or write a term paper that's due tomorrow morning.

Resources: I try to keep Art Passions non-commercial, although there are some links to Artsy Craftsy. Whatever resources I have for finding books or posters by these artists are listed in the FAQ, on the Books by Artist, or Prints by Artist resources pages. More and different prints are available at Artsy Craftsy. Sets of art tiles and accent tiles by these artists will eventually be available at William Morris Tile.

Viewing the images: The images will be displayed in a new window when you click on any of the links.

News!: For a few years now, I have not been able much in the way of new images due to hotlinking of images (explained in the FAQ and have even had to remove some of the most popular victims of hotlinks. However, I think I have solved this, so you will find me adding more art and artists now. I'm really happy about this.

Suggestions: Where I know of historical sites on the artist, I have linked to those. If I have missed a great site, please suggest a resource. I really value your comments and feedback.

What else? Warwick Goble, and more Celtic art that shows some of the tales that my Great Aunt Sadie used to tell (Sadie changed them every time she told them.) There are already abundant fairies and fairy tales.

Problems: Sometimes things go down, sometimes I am working on an area of the site and it's offline. So if an artist you are looking for is suddenly not available, check back in a day or two. Please do not webstrip the site. It makes me have a bad day.
