So here is some illustrations by this Guy Charles Harper. I am having a hard time finding stuff out about him. Supposedly he is still alive and living in Cincinatti. Raised in West Virginia. He was an illustrator predominatly as far as i can tell from the late fifties to the late 80s. Either way his stuff is awesome. he did some real cool nature prints. The funny thing is that Everywhere i see his stuff it talks about how he is the only nature based artist that has never been compared to Audoban yet i found out about him in Audobans Baby Elephant Folio. If you haven t seen this book be sure to look at it. It s the most inspiring thing i ve seen in awhile.

As a side note the blog has been having issues with the images from flickr. I am working on getting this issue fixed. In the meantime please excuse the red X s as images on the older posts and if you would like to see the images you can go to my flickr accounthere .
