FROM THE SMALL PRESS ARK:
=================
THE WYRD PRESS ENTRY
This is the mother and daughter team: Lesley Wilkinson and the artist Camille Gabrielle who produced two Horror mags, Masque and Ocular, throughout the nineties, and a series of chapbooks.
Only the Horror mags below are going into the Ark. The 'Weirdmonger's Tales' (1994) is not being put in the Ark (since the Ark is not for single author chapbooks*) and is only included below to show the meticulous precision taken by Camille in producing the art. I have never met these ladies, but they put an onyx ring on the image's correct finger (a ring given to me by my grandmother when I was 18 and I still wear to this day). I never told them about this ring!!
Ocular #19 (1999)
Contains work by David Canada, M. Malefica Grendenwolf Pendragon Le Fay, Mario Petrucci, John Light and others.
More of an occult all-rounder than a horror mag, but contained horror stories.
I think the cover art is by Camille Gabrielle.
Masque #2 (1994)
Contains stories by William Meikle, Rhys Hughes, Chris Fretwell and others.
I think the cover art is by Camille Gabrielle.
The internal art for all Wyrd Press booklets and mags was wonderful, but the many items of artwork in 'The Weirdmonger's Tales' are breathtakingly complicated, precise and staggeringly beautiful..

It seems 'meticulous' enough to be by her, but you may be right.

Wow, I love this artist, Des !
I agree with Odalisque, the cover of Ocular looks very different in style.
I prefer the pictures above that have more of an Outsider Art feel about them.
Has she got a website ?

bump. Anyone in touch with Camille-Gabrielle? I've lost complete touch. I think she is possibly one of the great illustrators of all time.

I had reason to link to this page today when comparing the designs by CG with banknote designs through history.
