Cover for "Boží bojovníci" by Josef Svatopluk Machar, 1931. Illustrations from the book can be found here.I am reminded of a short story involving impossibly tall figures as thin as poles. A man is walking down a street late at night and is following by one. Every time he turns to see what is behind him, the creature hides behind a telephone or lamp pole. I regret that I've lost track of the name of the author.

Well you know there's also the ear-cutting monk on Nakayama Masaaki's Seeds of Anxiety.
I think the story you are remembering (which was excellent) was "The Thin People" by Brian Lumley.
Thanks for putting these haunting images up for us to see. I was unaware of this artist until you've brought him to my attention to your fantastic blog! Please keep on keeping on man!
Great update!
I second what Needles said, don't stop the creepy goodness!
Beautiful. Never heard of him...
Wow! Alberto Giacometti, you thief! These images were out when Giacometti was in diapers, and I sense an uncredited "appropriation" here. Great stuff!
I love these, very inspiring and deeply disturbing!
