]]> Murder ballads are as gruesome as they sound but can also be hauntingly beautiful. Artist Katy Horan illustrated two classic tales – The Dreadful Wind and Rain And The Bloody Gardener. Image by image, she tells the stories through folk-inspired style and moody scenes.

Horan has earned her BFA in Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003. Her work has been featured in many exhibitions around the US and Canada and in several books and publications. She lives and works in Austin, Texas.

Horan has completed “two painting residencies at The Vermont Studio Center and was a finalist for the 2015 Hunting Art Prize. She is also the illustrator of Literary Witches: A Celebration of Magical Women Writers, written by Taisia Kitaiskaia and published by Seal Press,” her website reveals.

Sometimes dead is better 💀. I did this illustration of Pet Sematary (the original, not that travesty of a re-make) for @birthmoviesdeath a few years back. . . I have always loved Horror. When I was a kid, I was all about Tales From the Crypt and Vault of Horror comics, not to mention, the SEMINAL Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark trilogy (I believe those books actually helped shape my brain). In 5th grade I entered into a life partnership with Horror Movies and Pet Sematary was one of my absolute favorites. And even though I have many new favorites and although PS seems pretty cheesy now, I have to admit that I am still scared to death of Zelda (and I almost named my daughter after her). So all that to say, this was a very fun project for me! . What are your favorite horror movies? . . #horror #horrormovies #artistsoninstagram #womenofillustration #illustration #illustrationhowl #illustrateddoris #womenwithpencils #socfeature #picame #femaleillustrator #gouache #gouacheillustration #illustrationage

I’m very happy to share this cover illustration for @cadabrarecords glorious recording of Edgar Allan Poe’s LIGEIA, read by Anthony D.P. Mann and scored by Chris Bozzone!This record also includes an 18” x 24” promo poster and is available NOW through @cadabrarecords. Only 60 copies are available! . Side note: I have ALWAYS wanted to illustrate Poe. His stories captured my imagination at a young age and stayed with me ever since (my favorite might be Berenice). I am so thankful to @cadabrarecords for giving me the opportunity to finally have a go! . . . #edgarallanpoe #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #womenwhodraw #watercolor #illustrationhowl #illustrateddoris #womenwithpencils #socfeature #picame #womenofillustration #illustrationparade #illustrationage #horror #horrorillustration #horrorart #femaleillustrator

“Transitioning from a college student to a professional artist is definitely a bit of a bumpy road,” Molly said in an interview for Ramona magazine. “During that time, I think it’s so important to continue to make work. A lot of people stop creating and lose the motivation they had while in school. Having a group of friends that are also artists going through the same situation is super helpful too. To be honest, I still feel like I am in the transition period being almost 3 years out of school. Just remember that having income be 100% from art is a slow process for almost everyone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a day job that helps support making your art!”
