Illustration: Of Spaniards, Shipwrecks, and Sheep

Twist Collective's Spring Issue is out and so is my latest illustration!  These two illustrations accompany Daryl Brower's retelling of the Gran Grifon shipwreck off the coast of Fair Isle.  Here they are...

Both illustrations were done with india ink on watercolor paper.  I used both brush and pen to try an capture some of the wood-engraving look that was typical of the times.
