Wikipedia-
Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (21 August 1872 – 16 March 1898) was an English illustrator and author. His drawings in black ink, influenced by the style of Japanese woodcuts, emphasized the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic. He was a leading figure in the Aesthetic movement which also includedOscar Wilde and James A. McNeill Whistler. Beardsley’s contribution to the development of the Art Nouveau and poster styles was significant, despite the brevity of his career before his early death from tuberculosis.

My First Time…
Get’cher mind outta the gutter.
My first try at colorizing a black-and-white old photo. Naturally I had to pick one that was very softly focused, had little or no contrast, and I had no clue about most of the colors.
All in all, it didn’t turn out too badly…
My momma, sometime in the early Forties (I think).
I’ll do better next time. Practice, practice, practice.
