I grew up being fascinated with illustrations in books, from the Art Nouveau inspired paintings of John R. Neill for the Oz series to the moody ink drawings of Frank Frazetta for the Mars series and Tarzan books. But one style of illustration jumps out as particularly suited to the medium of silver art bars. For my second running collection of pieces, I hope to faithfully reproduce my favorite black and white etched illustrations in fine silver. The contenders for inclusion are many, but I can already think of several that top the list!
