The Outlandish Art Of Mahlon Blaine
"Mahlon Blaine was born in California in 1894. He served in World War I and Legman says that he had a metal plate in his head and shrapnel wounds on his wrist from injuries he suffered. He only had one eye the result of an accident "at an early age while chopping wood for his father." quote taken from the online biography of Blaine here.

Witches In Woodcuts










All that I can tell you is most of these prints were taken from a book titled "The history of witches and wizards" and date within the 17th century. Don't miss the great selection of works at the commons page at Wikipedia. I'm a huge fan of this particular image. And one more strange witch infested woodcut.

I stumbled across this drawing of an army of peculiar characters here.

Dulle Griet (Mad Meg)
"Griet was a disapproving name given to any bad-tempered, shrewish woman, about which there are many Flemish proverbs: ‘She could plunder in front of hell and return unscathed’." - quote from here.

The above painting of the maniac woman battling the denizens of Hell is titled "The Witch" by David Rychaert the 3rd from the 17th century.

In this painting of Mad Meg by David Teniers the Younger from the 1640's, we see the crazy lady entering a Hell populated by the Greek mythos beast of the underworld, Cerebus.

The most famous of the bunch, Peter Brughel's "Dulle Griet" or Mad Meg, from 1562.

The above incredibly detailed interpretation of Bruegel's painting is by an artist who goes by none other than Mad Meg.

This derranged crowd of characters is a fragment from a larger work by the illustrator Carll Cneut. The illustration is taken from his book titled Dulle Griet.
