Another flying horse (allegorical), in a slightly similar pose to the last post, though I doubt it was a reference for the comic book cover (there was 89 years between them)—still, fun to compare.

I am very partial to allegorical pictures, and wonder why more artists today do not try them. They are often inventive and cover interesting psychological and historical territory....

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.
