Something Wicked by Murray Tinkelman

"Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw."

"Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,"

Tinkelman58.detail03

"For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."


Tinkelman58.detail02

"Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf"


Tinkelman58.detail01

"By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes."

  1. Great to see Murray's stuff here on TI Leif! I had the great pleasure of getting to know Murray as I got my very own MFA through the Hartford program. What a talent not to mention his wealth of illustration history knowledge. Not sure I could be patient enough to draw like he does though.

  2. Loved the pull back reveal on this!

    Like Greg said above, the reveal shows the patience and craft that Tinkelman puts into his images.

  3. Is that a portrait of Vin Di Fate, or is Murray using the mirror during his mustachio days?
