I'm very glad to hear you're enjoying the blog - and David's as well - I learn a lot from him.<br /><br />I'm not aware of any European classic illustration sites, but perhaps someone will read this and let us know if such a place exists - I'd sure love to learn about the art and artists of Europe from thiis same period!leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-53356907553649791442007-01-16T20:34:00.000-05:002007-01-16T20:34:00.000-05:00Maybe humans are hard-wired to fear death-by-big-c...Maybe humans are hard-wired to fear death-by-big-cat -- but outside the world of adventure illustration, I just can't think of any other genre of painting in which it has occurred.<br />(maybe the subject was just too scary to contemplate -- back when it was actually a possibility)<br /><br />Here in Chicago - we've got those big lions that ate all those Africans about a hundred years ago -- they've been stuffed and mounted on the ground floor of the Field Museum -- and yes, they are very scary.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying your (and David's) illustration blogs -- but I'm wondering -- what about the illustrations for magazines from France, Germany, Japan, etc. ?<br /><br />Have you heard of any non-English blogs about illustration ?chris millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575033275184403015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-41527624954222467562007-01-16T10:53:00.000-05:002007-01-16T10:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment, Joe!

The great thing about these is that, unlike most traditional wildlife art (the theory being people don't want violent paintings or prints on their walls), they show the cats in attack mode. Great pieces! Thanks, Leif!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
