So I somehow was charmed by a old man living in South America who's publishing a series of books featuring Edmund Dulac, an artist from the Golden Age of Illustration.
This sorta thing seems to happen to me thanks to my website. I think the crawlers have full scraped my intent to review every book I read.
Now I'[m editing for him, advising, collaborating, scheming, laughing, snarking at American politics.... the emails are daily.
He wanted a tiny website for his stuff but is utterly hopeless with that level of tech, so I carved out a corner of my website and built him one. If you are into art books, give him your consideration. Edmund Dulac Portal Index – A License to Quill
I know Edmund Dulac!
I mean, not literally.
His stuff ranges from Nice And Proper to OMG WHAT THE HELL?
And all the way to WTF!
My favorite illustration is The Enchanted Horse. 
That one always reminded me of The Adventures of Prince Achmed. 
His Sea Monsters look like Saturday Morning Cartoons, circa 1962.
I can see the connection!
That's a shadow-puppet film of the silent era.
What an awesome penpal. With excellent taste in pen pals and in art!
Fogwoman: He's delightful! He decided to hire me to proofread his upcoming "Arabian Nights Illustrated" 1800-1950". This will focus on artists beyond Dulac for a change.
Oooooh! That sounds really awesome. So much Orientalist art!
Fogwoman: HEAPS of Orientalist art! A staggering amount, actually.
