Every so
often I come across work which which both excites me through its
skillful execution and draws me in through it fascinating subject
matter, instilling in me a range of emotions running from wonder to
downright repulsion and terror; in short it keeps me coming back for
more and more. Van Rymsdyk's drawings certainly falls under this
category and are my main inspiration right now for my own work.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. No doubt they are great examples of engraving.
