Hey @NexiusLobster, I really appreciate the art you've been posting! Just a quick tip when posting Dutch/Flemish artists: "van" means "of/from" as in William of Aelst and is not capitalised in Dutch last names. Keep up the good work.

Oh I see, Thank you for the correction!

So it should be William van Aelst instead of William Van Aelst

Yeah, you got it, of course it's still "Willem" which is the Dutch version of William. Where are you from?

How cool, you've got good taste ;) I am ashamed to say I don't know a lot of traditional Indian art.

I am ashamed to say that makes the two of us. I don't know much of any traditional Indian art, apart from Neeraj Ghaywan movies.
