Aubrey Beardsley

(21st August 1872 - 16th March 1898)
Aubrey Beardsley is an English illustrator and author. He was inspired by Japanese woodcuts and does his illustrations in black ink. He was a leading figure in the aesthetic movement, he also contributes to the development of the Art Nouveau and poster styles.



His designs have influenced the way i am going to create my illustrations, by using the medium ink instead of pencil. His illustration are detailed and unusual but with a direct link to the Japanese culture.
