Hey blogniks, here's two more sketches from my moleskine which I'm posting bit by little bit. I figure there's no fun in uploading everything in one go, gotta keep things episodic n'est pas? To the left we have a pencil study of St. Sebastian Being Cured by Irene by Luca Giordano (1692 - 1702) which hangs in the Victorian National Gallery's European Collection. To the right is a detail study of John the Baptist from Parmigianino's The Madonna and Child with Saints which hangs in England's National Gallery.
Drawing in English museums and galleries is the greatest pleasure. All the treasures of the world plundered by our glorious pirate motherland and at your disposal with free use of fold-out stools.
In other news here are some interesting, if morbid, book covers I discovered while researching a Medieval French bard named François Villon.

Hi Ben, how are you? Very nice work here, as always. Are you still planning on coming to Brisbane during Christmas time?
These are magnificent. Do you mind if I add you to my blogroll?
