I can see why you're taken with her. As for a favorite illustrator, wow, good question.<br /><br />I guess I'd have to say no, at the moment. But I do have a style of illustration I appreciate. Have you seen old science books from the late 1800s? Rather than photos, they had meticulously illustrated plates. Stunning stuff. I always marvel at the artistry involved.<br /><br />Great post, Nikki.<br /><br />Joe<br /><a href="http://www.josephwrichardson.com" rel="nofollow">E/Emberglow</a>Joe Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934888560338996348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23692786891315171.post-19840741018780030062012-04-05T20:50:30.737+01:002012-04-05T20:50:30.737+01:00Those are some pretty neat illustrations!
