Why does his name sound so familiar, yet the images don't? I'll have to do some research. I really like the line quality. My favorite out of the images shown is the one with Death(?) with the yellow raincoat dragging the body. That's kind of funny. Do you have any background info?

Well i found out about him just 2 days ago looking through Flex sketchbook, so i was hoping some background info would turn up in this thread :teeth:

He was born 1929 and died 1995, dude was german. Not exactly art history, but close enough i guess. I think i remember seeing this one pretty often:

Definitely someone to know about i think. He was a fan of Hokusai and did a series of pictures based on his work.

I like his drawings very much, too.

Here's another nice one
