Experiments in collage and other media
I have a thing for natural science lithography from the 19th century. I'm always grabbing images off of the internet and drawing inspiration from their amazing beauty. Here's a sketchy collage for a jungle piece yet to be fully worked out.

Sweet lion there with his birdy friend. Don't know too much about turn of the century botany but I do know there were some amazing illustrators out there as evidenced by old books. What a talent to be able to render so perfectly nature in all it's imperfections. xox
Yes, I agree! The process of lithography alone is fascinating, and so different from 4-color process printing. Check out the Biodiversity Heritage Library for lots of beautiful images. https://www.flickr.com/photos/biodivlibrary/6008726140/
