wow, crowley was friends with these guys? I didn't know that at all. my dad has an obscenely extensive amount of rare crowley books... it's almost ridiculous.
Oh, I don't know if he was friends with all of them, but Crowley and Beardsley definitely knew each other. I think Crowley's dad was friends with or worked with Beardsley. So, I guess he was probably not in the same generation as the rest of them.
You should definitely look him up! His work is amazing! At least, I think so, heh. His style looks sort of like comic art so that's probably why I'm so attracted to it.
I've read Lolita a few times, once so that I could properly refute the association between the novel and the fashion, and then a few more times because it's a work of literary genius. :3 I'd recommend it.
It sounds really interesting to me! I wish the younger lolitas who complain about the association so much would get past it and read the book for the same reason as you. Some of them can't even spell Nabokov's name correctly.

lolololol yeah, that's probably a good description of him.
Wow, I didn't know anything about this artist, but recognized the art style. I've definitely read at least one Oscar Wilde book illustrated by him. :D
