Hello all! I want to point you all in the direction of a fabulous artist whose work is more than deserving of your attention... It's our good old friend, Mr. Duncan Kay. Duncan is one of the best illustrators I've ever come across -- without him our very own Van Melsen wouldn't have evolved into what he is today. He's recently opened an Etsy shop, and has listed a variety of pieces. Please take a look, and, if you're able, consider buying something. Here's a link to the shop:
