Jeannie Lynn Paske of Portland, Oregon is behind the beautiful, textured illustrations of Obsolete World. Using watercolor, charcoal, ink and pastels, Jeannie takes us to another world … her world. It is eerie, quiet and mysterious. She describes it best in her own biography:

There is a world tucked away behind this one.

An old world made up of endless fields,

distant hills and timeworn cliffs.

A place where the sun is always setting.

A land in which extinct

slow-moving monsters and

elegant gentle-faced creatures

of all shapes and sizes reside.

Delicately balancing their hope and despair.

Reminiscent of long departed dreams

and uncollected thoughts.

Time stands still here

so as to let the residents gaze

in solitude

upon the vast

richly textured skies.

Forever in search of a place

to better sit and watch

their world pass them by.

There is just something about these illustrations that I absolutely love. They let me make up my own story. They make me uncomfortable. They wrap me up in their mystery. They keep my interest. 

You can purchase prints and original art at the Obsolete World Etsy Shop.
