Description Something different for a change. The box illustration I did for the upcoming board game "The Great Fire of London 1666" by Richard Denning published by JKLM Games and Medusa Games. If I have time I will add and extra layer of details for the final version. It should be out in October and sold at the game fair at Essen/Germany. Keep an eye on this one - it's great fun.

Here are the most moving, sorrowful, and beautiful pictures from the past week.
