Kay Nielsen - one of my favorite illustrators.

when I was kid I read some fairy tales,those illustrations of the book was really surprised me a lot.That feeling just like you found treasure,I will never forget how happy I was.

Many years later,I knew those amazing illustrations from Kay Nielsen.

Kay Nielsen(1886-1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century.There were so many classic fairy illustration during that age,his work is full of details and the style remind me klimt a little bit. I believe Yoshitaka Amano's works
were inspired by them a lot also.

Anyway,he is my idol,I hope I could draw as wonderful as his work one day.
