Richard Huber combed many sources to collect the images that follow, most of them coming from the dark side of the human imagination. Some of these creatures are the product of mythology, legend, or religion, and appear in a variety of interpretations: chimera, Sphinx, Satan, dragons, and mermaids. Others are creations of separate imaginations and appear only once: quirky HieronymusBosch blends or Salvador Dalí. The choices span time and culture, from prehistoric mountain paintings to Max Ernst, from black African masks to Notre Dame gargoyles. All were provided earnestly in fresh black-and-white illustrations that provide themselves to use as spot illustrations or simply as inspiration for designers and craftsmen.
