Fantastic Illustrations by Serge Birault
Horror films have been placing ravishing women in close proximity with hideous monsters for over one hundred years, and Serge Birault seems Hell-bent on preserving their perilous plight for time immemorial. Thankfully, his stylish renditions of devilishly distressed damsels are at once respectful of their ancient roots, and subversively modern as well.

Thankfully, his stylish renditions of devilishly distressed damsels are at once respectful of their ancient roots, and subversively modern as well.
With lovingly-distressed
proportions and a knowing wink, Mr. Birault’s clever twists on classic
horror and pulp themes consistently create playful pinups and portraits
that drip with wit and charm. Tentacles must hold a special, clammy
place in his heart, but rancid fly-men and lecherous were-squirrels also
torment the lovely ladies he paints.
Mixed in with his warm
appreciation of these subjects is a thin thread of macabre insanity.
yet, while death and danger are never far, they are easily overshadowed
by deceptively capable and unbelievably beautiful women that populate
Serge’s illustrated fantasies.
