Striking, elegant, poised and dynamic. I love the underwhelming detail. Beautiful (=

Really like this style -- thick brushstrokes, not over done. Simple design, but the mood and feeling is expressed fully. Thanks for posting these!

I love these. There's an illustrator called David Downton who carries on the tradition. He worked with me on a campaign for HELLO! magazine 10 years ago and did a wonderful job.
