    This is so classic and so unique at the same time. I love how you focus so deeply on shapes and texture, even in your portraits! A delight to view, as usual :)

    Great use of line here with the verticals and variety of crosshatching to add texture and shadows.

    ur style is righteous, i love the linear effect in hte background

  • BLYTHART replied

    Seeing Beardsley’s illustrations in a book in 1974 (fourteen years prior to Catblack’s arrival on this planet) is what set me off to want to draw. Many many years after that before I wanted to paint though.

  • BLYTHART replied

    Oh yes … linear background effect courtesy of drawing board and rule.

    LOL, just noticed this one, the artists who inspire you really do come out in your work, so I hope you don’t think my comments “obvious”, I hadn’t got to this or your “ESCHER” pieces yet!!

  • BLYTHART replied

    When I like an artist a lot I often do a tribute to them, in the hopes that people will want to look at the artist’s work. Now I have the hang of doing links I will put a link on this too.
