Percy Delf Smith, The Dance of Death (1914-1918)

This portfolio of 7 etchings features Death as a tangible image hovering ominously over the battlefield. The concept of dance of Death imagery began as a medieval allegory on the universality of death and the all-conquering and equalising power of death.

Percy Smith was a painter, calligrapher and book designer. He began to etch in 1913. He served as a gunner in the Royal Marine Artillery on the Somme during the First World War. He surreptitiously made drawings of his war experiences while at the Front and because of this was arrested twice as a spy. (x)

Tibia Mariner

Watercolor and gouache on paper.

For some reason, one of my favorite bosses in the game. Maybe it's because the way he shows up in the boat and zips around here and there without much care lol, interesting feller that Mariner.
