Stefan Poag is an impressive artist in his own right and has done some amazing work. First, I say to Stefan, thank you for the drawings that you have done that have "leaked" out into the world. I say "leaked" because I've not purchased anything with his art in it, but it is always a joy to look at. And I'm really looking forward to his Drawing-a-Day. I hope he posts all of his drawings.
Secondly, I want to say thank you to Stefan for pointing me toward Rich Longmore.
To Rich, I can only say, "Wow." I love his aesthetic. Some of his pieces are reminiscent of the best drawings from the Fiend Folio, but more "realistic" (Is that possible in fantasy art?). At the same time, I feel like each of his pictures tells a story.
(That is a phrase that I've heard many times about illustrations, perhaps too many, but, in the case of Rich's art, I think that it is completely appropriate.)
They are full of detail, action, and style. Don't want to sound too much like my fifteen year old self from days past, but, "Awesome!"
Knowing that his art is in Carcosa is perhaps one more reason I may need to purchase that.

I like the stuff he did for Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. Looking forward to buying a copy of that game.
