Ive been busy
Anybody authors looking for an illustrator out there?
Just painted these, as an experiment, inspired by Wagners "Cout and thrust Weapons" I think they work quiet well but dont know if I can be inspired enough to paint my entire collection. Cheers Andy |

Very, very nice!
I think drawings are much better for a general definition of various types of swords than actual pictures: drawings ignore the particulars and concentrate on the general characteristics. This is why I love old books, with no photography but with great drawings (Egerton, for example). |

Andy,
MAGNIFICENT WORK!!!!!!! Those are beautiful paintings, and I had always thought Wagners were good...I actually think yours are right on par, actually better . As a fellow 'artistic' (I really dont consider myself a true artist) I just sense a little more 'feeling' in yours, while Wagners remain rather two dimensional. Your work would definitely honor the text of any published work on these weapons!!! Bravo !! Jim |
