Nice to be back at this art appreciation thing ;).
So today we have Joseph Clement Coll, an illustrator from the golden age of illustration at the early part of the 20th century. His style is fantastic, flowing, and dynamic. With nothing more than lines his work conveys passion, violence, and wonder. Sadly he did not live a long life and these days his amazing pieces are barely known.
