New ink art and Alphabeast: J is for Jikininki

New ink art and Alphabeast: J is for Jikininki

Two New Ink Cards

Russ’s Art Blog: War on the Tiger

Russ’s Art Blog: War on the Tiger

This week we’re back to a piece of art, in this case Franklin Booth’s War on the Tiger (ink, 1908). I’m a huge fan of ink and engraved works, and Booth was a master of the pen.  He is one of the most influential ink artists ever, and his techniques and styles can easily be […]
