But the people who made the following works of art have it better. They watched, got inspired, and created art. And for sure, while they were making the strokes of Padme’s face or adjusting their brush opacity to create just the right color for the lighsaber, the Force was strong in them.

Women and snakes have from the beginning of time shared a special connection. What do they have in common, you may wonder. Maybe it’s their mystical power, or their power of illusion and hypnotizing movement or it’s their ability to scare man. Whatever the case, it is really luring sight watching nice women in hugs of these mighty serpents. They may be just drawn illustrations, but these pictures look incredibly real.

When we was a kid, we went through a phase where we was way into monsters — Draculas, Frankensteins, demons from the pits of Hell, all that good stuff — and, as these were the dark days before the Internet, I would hit the library on a weekly basis checking out books illustrated with the scarier pieces of pop culture and mythology. Well, I’ve got to say that right now, seven year-old Chris Sims is insanely jealous of his Japanese counterparts, because they had Gojin Ishihara, a manga artist whose work on numerous children’s books from the 1970s is both terrifying and awesome.
Here is a collection of wonderfully weird illustrations by Gōjin Ishihara, whose work graced the pages of numerous kids’ books in the 1970s. The first 16 images below appeared in the “Illustrated Book of Japanese Monsters” (1972), which profiled supernatural creatures from Japanese legend. The other illustrations appeared in various educational and entertainment-oriented publications for children.
