By request, here is the original usage of this 'blog's current header image by Willy Pogany from way back in 1916. And below that, another lively fantasy by Pogany, one of my all-time favorite illustrators.
2 nice ones!! i was pretty much unaware of Pogany until my good friend Mr Door Tree posted some images on his blog and i was thinking wow he must really like Finlay! Then to find out he came BEFORE Finlay! it's always interesting to see how one artist influenced another.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.

Ah ha! So it's Willy Pogany. Thank you Thom. I really like his work, but I didn't recognize that one.
