Here Be Dragons

They like me, they really really like me. That's right Bleeding Heart Markets here I come. I'm excited, terrified and pretty pleased with myself.

The king of fantasy, the beast among beasts the lords of all dungeons... I give you the DRAGON!

Totoya Hokkei

Totoya Hokkei is a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who lived from 1780 to 1850. You may remember him from such blogs as last week’s ‘The Birth of Love’.

Well I just liked him so much that I decided to dedicate an entire post to him, and here it is.

I found this owl picture on a brilliant livejournal post you can find here;
