Is this from a book cover or something? It looks very familiar for some reason.

Gargoyles (1985) was the first artwork by Michael Parkes to capture the attention of a mainstream audience – reproduced in the form of a poster, it came to adorn hundreds of thousands of walls throughout North America.

Man, Gargoyles is cool, but the rest of the art they have up is kinda meh. I want to see more of the crazy gargoyle creatures and fewer of the fair ladies.
