This guys work is EXACTLY what I want MINE to look like!
ReplyDeletePretty great, huh. Did it help to live in New Orleans, probably.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if anyone here has information on the Illustrator mentioned "Franz Kotzian". I'm trying to find more information on him because I have an uncle (in law) named Ernst Kotzian and I have traced him back to Munich. His father is a Franz Kotzian. Ernst is also an artist, and I wonder if this Franz Kotzian may be his father. The publication dates of the work I'm finding on the west fit nicely with where Franz should be, and well, like father like Son I suppose. Ernst Kotzian was a Stained Glass Artist.
ReplyDeleteamazing.
