i absolutely love these drawings by Raquel Aparicio... her airy and quirky style comes together in a really beautiful way. i'm also extremely jealous of her ability to transform a piece of an image into something different and odd in a way that's so clean and brilliant that it seems normal.
Aparicio is from Spain (her website is in both english and spanish), and has done work for the The New York Times and various magazines, as well as illustrating multiple books and winning multiple awards. her images have a very narrative quality to them, so it was no surprise find that a group of her illustrations are of Russian fairy tales (one of which i recognized as the story of Baba Yaga!-hint: the one of the house on chicken legs) - there are also multiple references to red riding hood (again, i just can't stay away from wolf imagery lately, i don't know what it is).
anyway, you should definitely check her out
