The main sketch shows "Printemps/Spring", a painting by Tamara Lempicka. It was copied from a thumbnail in my German catalog of replicas for sale.

The small sketch shows two wet nurses for the goddess Folly. It was copied from a drawing by Hans Holbein in the margin of Erasmus' book, "Praise of Folly".

bad poetry/doggerel round the edge

"Two women" are the key words of this card.

Lempicka's girls in stylish painting starred.

Two kind wet nurses were young Folly's guard.

White flow'rs in hand, us show the name of "Spring".

Two women painted in the age of Swing.

Bright eyes, red lips, curled hair, smooth skin, take wing.

Erasmus' goddess Folly, grew up well.

Dad Plutus, mum Neotes her befell.

Apaedia, Methe - milk their breasts did swell.

PS Sorry a bit blurred

This is a pretty direct riff on Dave Cockrum’s cover to the ol’ Marvel John Carter Warlord of Mars comic, #11, 1978

Some of my sketchcards made for me to the X-MEN ARCHIVES card collection, released by Rittenhouse Arquives, with the Marvel Comics characters.

I´ve made 200 sketched cards, with many X-Men characters (villains and heroes, variant uniforms, X-Men team formations, etc) using color markers and ink. It´s a amazing speed training! In October, Rittenhouse will release a new collection with Spider-Man Arquives sketchcard sets. To this set, I´ve made a lot of new arts too. Soon I´ll post it here some scans.

Some of these X-Men arts can be buyed at Ebay too.

Tnx!
