Kay Nielsen (Danish-American, 1886-1957)
Kay Nielsen was an art nouveau illustrator who specialized in books for children. He worked as a concept artist for the Walt Disney company from 1937-1941. His work was used in Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria in Disney’s Fantasia. By the 1950’s, his style had fallen out of fashion, and he died in poverty in Los Angeles.
Red Magic, 1930. Nielsen’s last book for children.

When bat shit crazy parallels intersect
Is it divine coincidence that Robert Lewis's competency hearing is happening at the same time that Carly Fiorina has been announced as Cruz's running mate? This woman is just as responsible for the the deaths at the planned parenthood clinic by spreading false rumors of video evidence about harvesting organs from living fetus's which incited Lewis to go on his shooting spree.
