He was new to me too! :O I am so in love. His work is incredible. I was just scrolling through a post of his works, agog.

And what a tragic end. His marriage was in the toilet, so he arranged to move to a new city with his wife and young child to start over. And the news was full of that horrific train accident in which so many burned to death, so he booked them passage by ferry--AND THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THEY ALL DIED??

But god he was a great illustrator.
