omg, sam. that one of dempsey- unbelieveable. looks impossible to catch the emotion showing in this engraving of dempsey. the look of "i'm gonna knock your block off". so rare to feel this when looking at something so small.
Hi everyone.
Thanks for the kind words regarding my pictures on Flickr and I'm so glad you found the thread on stamp engravers useful.
I found this board from a spike in traffic to my images and will hopefully find some other interesting topics regarding great engraving work.
