Fuck Yeah, Art History!

Sea-Dragon, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese), c. 1831, woodblock print, 36 x 25 cm
If I was at sea and saw this giant dragon-bird-bat thing coming towards me, I think I would have a heart attack, holy fuck.
Also: take a good look at the quality of the black lines and how wildly they range in width, you’d think it was painted with a brush but it was carved into wood! Amazing.
