a great website! I love the little touch of "ugliness" (or lowbrow) of the illustrator's works. ;)

Yeah, we all have seen stuff like this, but the elephant, the clown, the tiger and ballons make such a wonderful illustration that we can't help but take a peek in the gallery of this young lad from UK. Thanks God he doesn't let me down, but makes my next trip to his wonderland necessary and definite.

I'm speechless, that's always the fault of the artists.

From the site: "An English curate and the author of several books on religious subjects, Edward Topsell is best remembered for The Historie of Foure-footed Beastes and The Historie of Serpents. Born in 1572, Topsell attended Cambridge before becoming a clergyman in the Church of England. He published The Reward of Religion in 1596, and Time's Lamentation in 1599. In 1604 Topsell became curate of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, a position he held until his death. In 1607, Topsell published his magnificent illustrated work Historie of Foure-footed Beastes, Describing the True and Lively Figure of Every Beast. The book was closely based on the Historiae Animalium of Swiss author Conrad Gesner. In 1608 he followed it with The Historie of Serpents; Or the Second Booke of Living Creatures, which also drew on Gesner's Historiae. The woodcuts for both of Topsell's books came directly from Gesner's pages. Topsell authored one more religious work in 1610 called The Householder. He served as vicar and chaplain in various areas of England until his death in about 1638."
