I think this picture is amazing and a great image for a first post. It's an editorial illustration for the story "The Bric-a-Brac Man", wonderfully illustrated by Kinuko Kraft. She has done amazing work for a very long time and is true pioneer in the industry.
What great luminous color. It's painted so delicately – a nice contrast with the intense subject matter. See those fragile little porcelain hands? They're toast.
