This 1927 Vogue cover art by George Plank, the last he did for the magazine, was to the theme of A Forecast of Spring Fashions—continuing the eternal trend of outlandish fashion fantasy disconnected from any Earthly reality.
As a rider, vintage garb afficionado, and general all round lover of the sometimes outlandish, orientalised art of the past...this painting makes me smile for a multitude of reasons. I may aspire to be this person some day :P

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, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
