Here is the perfect example of why Royo is so good. Not only is he a talented artist, but he weaves his art around a story, which adds another dimension to the work.

This particular installment involves the story of an apprentice who joins an aging art master whose work has become progessively darker in theme and mood. This trend continues and what you see is what the young man experiences. Not only is each installment of the story interesting, but the art is just breathtaking. The quality of the art is very strong made all the more interesting by the insertion of some development sketches along with the final product. The women are all beautiful, but never stale and there is the occasional appearance of men as well. Royo's work on this one is truly astounding in its quality.

I'd tell more of the story behind the paintings, but you should experience it for yourself. ( )
