and uses black and white.? I am looking for a children's book illustrator. His or her style is very stark and uses black and white.
I remember two books in the same style. One was about a girl who always wore a scarf ( not a green ribbon) and then when she took off the scarf her head rolled off. Another story was about a girl, that's all I remember. I remember all the stories were kind of quirky and very dark. The two stories were in separate books. I also believe this person may be famous, because I have seen the images around before, I just want to know the name.
 
Yeah, it sounds like maybe you're talking about Edward Gorey. His style is black and white.
 
Google image Edward Gorey.

Is that what you're talking about? I remember he did a book about a girl with a velvet ribbon around her neck and when her friend cut it off while she slept, her head rolled off.
