Busy learning dutch, busy dancing, busy working on a couple of websites but not busy enough sketching and making new illustrations. I have just taken on a new client though that looks like been fun and am determined to get back sketching. In the mean time take a look at awesome orientalist painter -
Ludwig Deutsch over on this fine blog. Loving the colour, atmosphere and compostions . . .


It was so hard to choose any one pic so I just grabbed this at random. Be sure to see the others.

Also whilst I am sharing influences check this lot out --- mid-20Century illustrators  --- there are too many greats here to pick all my favourites out but, Al Parker, Bernie Fuchs, Bob Peak and Harry Beckoff all blow my mind and so many others to so take a look. You can read more about thes e guys ove at Liefpeng's great blog Todays Inspiration. The archives are full of great insights.
