The mind of the painter must resemble a mirror, which always takes on the color of the object it reflects and is completely occupied by the images of as many objects are in front of it.
- Leonardo da Vinci
Create like a god,
command like a king,
work like a slave.
- Constantin Brancusi

Flesk Publications

Posted by Charley Parker at 12:24 am

Franklin Booth
Flesk is a small publishing house that has issued wonderful collections of work from two of the best pen and ink illustrators in history: Joseph Clement Coll and Franklin Booth. Both are extraordinary in their own way.

The site contains small galleries of both artists’ work. The work is reproduced at a smaller size than you might like, but consider it a taste. If you like pen and ink drawing but are not familiar with these two artists, you owe it to yourself to check them out.

Flesk is also publishing collections from contemporary comics artists Mark Schultz and Steve Rude.

Check both the Galleries and the Publications sections for reproductions of the art.

    Yeah. I picked up the first JC Coll book. Saw some of his drawings in a pen and ink show. The guy is amazing.
