about a year ago i spent some time trying to work in a design art nouveau style, this is one of the better pieces i liked, i think it is the only one with a character. all the other designs were just floral, some other floral designs that i did for surfboards and stickers are on my web page. [link]
this was penciled and inked.
Art Nouveau is 1 of my favorite styles & I like your black 'n' white contrast. Usually I prefer pieces with color & even though I'd love to see this piece colored... I do like it as is, with the bold, clean feel. When I 1st came across your picture, I couldn't help but think it looked like 1 of those black velet, fuzzy posters you buy & color in yourself!
And I'm a fan of Art Nouveau and 1920s too
