PART 2 - Artists/illustrators

[OldTaff]

Thanks for this, Martin, I had no idea that there is a magazine devoted to his work. I have long been a fan of his artistry, and have the book of " The Last Tercios", which details how he plans, draws and paints . I just wish I could be fluent in Spanish!

I have added Martin's link to the existing entries for Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau.
While checking on him I found that he is called Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau Nieto.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Ferrer-Dalmau
Unlikely though it seems, someone might look for this name and therefore I have added an entry under Nieto, and linked it directly back to Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau.
I also came across another interesting site:-

Cheers,

That's great, Andrew, thanks for posting that.....having just looked at the link, scrolled down, and there's an 'updated' Don Quixote with Sancho Panza. Now that would make a charming duo of figures
