"What our ancestors would really be thinking, if they were alive today, is: "Why is it so dark in here?"" From Pyramids by Sir Terry Pratchett, a British National Treasure.
Here's a link to John Atkinson Grimshaw's paintings. He did marvelously atmospheric paintings. One of them is on the cover of Dust and Shadow, by Lyndsey Faye, a Sherlock Vs the Ripper novel, referenced here on the Conan Doyle thread. I just thought people would enjoy looking at these. Wasn't quite sure where to put this.

Hello,
I am an artist in America and I am creating a series of illustration's about JTR.
I was wondering if any of ya'll know anything about the copyright laws of using some of the JTR case photograph's as inspiration for illustration's that I am creating? Is there a web site that has the copyright laws concerning the photograph's I am using?
Many thanks,
Cameron :-)
Hi folks - I love this thread. I'm new to the forums, my first post was earlier today, so go easy on me! I'm an artist who lives quite close to Whitechapel, in the Hackney area, and in fact I buy my art materials at a large store on Hanbury St, quite near Bucks Row/Durward St. A lot of my work used to be quite closely related to the Ripper murders, and the idea of murder is still hovering around in the background, although it's thankfully presented slightly more obliquely these days. Anyway, here are some of my images.
They're all old-fashioned oil on canvas, and the topmost is my first oil painting from many years ago, entitled 'The Fourth Canonical Victim'. The rest, in order of appearance, are:
The Man Who Cut Off His Halo
The Man Who Was Afraid To Ask
The Man Who Stared At The Moon
Mapping the Mechanisms of Escape
Notes Toward a Narrative Account of Several Fictitious Past Lives
I regret the crude morbidity of the first painting, a human being's memory perhaps deserves different, but I was quite young at the time.
