I always have to do some of your historical pieces, being fraught as they are with play and so many elements of history and culture. First there's the underlying etch-strokes---the cross-hatch of the plain surfaces and the curvilinear cross-hatch across human and other curved surfaces. It distinguishes the images as definitely of a past era. And the semi-formal and posed nature of the people, where even gestures of surprise (as in the younger people) seem posed. Their dress is also of a formal earlier era, and definitely of people with some money. You have your signature elements of big eyes---in profile, and similar in each face---and transformed arms and hands (the upper right man, whose arms have turned into a scaled set of claws, chelae or pincers, articulated (I think) with more eyes. (Always amazing how you use a motif, in a piece, in such fresh ways.) A lizard-skeleton, made of similar parts to that upper right man. A young girl with a segmented boned hand, like a lizard claw. A woman wearing some kind of early weather-detector thingy on her head, or maybe a model of some planets---it's fascinating, and if it isn't based on an actual 18th or 19th C model (you'd know this better than I), it looks like it could be, thus that "suggestive" feature in your work once more. And lots of other little things to wonder about, including a sphere-like replica of a man's face (in between the long human pincers), some strange thing attached to/or near a man's head---the man beneath the guy with the pincers---which looks like a 19th C surveillance camera. A wonderful balustrade. And people in the next room exploring even more...Fascination with instruments and objects of future or past, a moment in which people are fascinated by time shift, and taken over by curiosity---those eyes certainly express that. It feels quaint but at the same time wholly enticing, where curiosity breaks through the formal dress and demeanor of everyone in the scene. I don't know how you do these, whether it's a single image or made of many images; or how you piece it all together, infuse your symbols into it, etc etc: I don't know anything about the process. But it's a marvelous pastiche, with a mix of bemusement, love and artistic discipline. And btw, the girl with the lizard-like hand---she's only got one: Those kinds of choices make your pieces endlessly fascinating. Marvelous imagination. (Btw, I realize I haven't fav'd anything! I forgot, as I got lost in the art. Well consider everything fav'd. My fav's don't work very well anyway, half of them don't even show up, so know that everything here is a big fav.)

Great Work!!!!
