Raptor Art & Vadim Gorbatov

Tunnicliffe's unjustly neglected 1930's image for Williamson's The Peregrine's Saga. I wonder if some illos by Gorbatov for the new REF Fidget volume are a homage. VG certainly is familiar with his predecessor's works-- see his Lobo illos. Many are witty elaborations on Seton...



A "Lobo". This batch was done BEFORE he came to NM! Get Seton's original to compare...



Fidget's home is now our own Water canyon, which Vadim sketched when he was here.

I know you are interested in Mongolia, and thought Cat might be interested in his project as well. My brother got an Eisenhower fellowship to Mongolia, China and the Philippines to study agricultural policy. Here is his blog for the trip.
