What can one say about the moody, penetrating, and intense paintings of Thomas Ehretsmann? Nothing more than they are a timeless method of telling a story through the art and craft of illustration. Oh and Gold Medals from the Society of Illustrators. There’s that.

Excellent! – Really a great look – bravo!
don’t like this one, there is enough violence in this world it is not the artists job to advertise it but to inspire a more enlightened civilized world. don’t like the look of any of these men. Wouldn’t like to meet them in a dark street.
