I love the illustrations in the Illustrated Classics Series of books. You might remember them from childhood- the things you read instead of the original to get by on that 7th grade book report. The best part about them were the amazing pen illustrations. I've recently started redrawing some these for fun- it's good practice, and pen/ink is one of my favorite mediums to work in- I think because it's really controlled. This drawing is from The Oregon Trail by Francis Parkman, and was illustrated by Dave Simmons. Since I saw Brokeback Mountain yesterday, I think this is funny drawing.
