Who is Madame Talbot?
Madame Talbot is a rather private and reclusive self-taught artist who has always been interested in the dark and strange, even as a wee kidlet. Her interest include just about anything that has to do with the Victorian era 19th century, she has a fascination with Victorian era drugs, apothecary, and specifically those of absinthe, opium, laudanum, ether, etc. She has always loved the Addams Family cartoons as well as the original black and white TV show and watched it as well as the Munsters when she was a kid. Sadly though, she was not allowed to watch Dark Shadows as her mother thought it might give her nightmares. Her favorite illustrators are Edward Gorey, Thomas Nast and Posada – just to name a few – and her favorite cartoonist, Robert Crumb who she has the privilege of meeting when he dropped by her studio while he was visiting in Seattle. Madame Talbot also has a morbid fascination with Victorian death rituals and mourning techniques, medical antiques, blood letting, and loves
