Hey Aeron, great images as always! Don't forget the great Goltzius' "The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus": http://www.sauer-thompson.com/junkforcode/archives/Junk%20for%20code.JPG
Thanks Fufu, yeah I need to get that linked up somewhere. Check out this bigger version that I posted back in January. If the image link doesn't work just hit up my post on Goltzius near the bottom of the January MB page.
