I just discovered the work of Martin Lewis, an Australian born artist that worked mostly in New York in the twenties and thirties.  Any antique car buff should like these magnificent etchings that really capture the feel of the period.  Mr. Lewis passed away in 1962 and is virtually forgotten today.

Absolutely but I believe Dixie (Mrs. Tinindian)  has first place here.

Those are pretty amazing.  I did alot of artwork with similar subjects in Highschool and after.  I always look at the little things that were so hard to create/ capture in pen and ink.  He seems to have mastered all the areas that I either never did or took a long time to figure out how.  Do you have any more by him?
