Marci Washington is one of my artist loves. Equal parts portrait and creepy, she’s one of those artists that just makes my skin crawl in the best way.
A native Californian now living in Oakland, Marci has a knack for what seems to hold a sense of the supernatural. Her old houses are spectacular, and I so badly want one for my bathroom wall. After all, nothing makes you pee like a haunted mansion!
Right now, Marci’s working on what I think could potentially be the COOLEST project in a LONG time:
“Currently I am interested in building a fictional narrative with connections to history as well as to the present. It’s like I’m illustrating a novel that doesn’t exist. If it did, it would probably be a lot like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, or Bleak House- novels which function as social commentary as well as beautiful romantic epics.”
So lovely!

These are gorgeous! I love the idea of illustrating for a nonexistent novel. Thanks for introducing me to her work!
