What a weird and wonderful story Lewis and a drawing to match! Love the birds and the poor little fella in his bottle.

Piece of work wasn't he? So a great drawing of what could be his just desserts.

Just desserts indeed Lewis, even the ravens look happy!

Another very effective black and white presentation.

Love all these interesting stories you find, Lewis. I especially like the birds in this one.

Wonderful drawing. Awful man! But he was not the only one. What about the Salem witches?

Serves him right the horror, well done Lew for putting him away! Fantastic drawing and characters.

Just love this Lewis, wonderful drawing and very interesting story. He's certainly getting his just desserts. Especially love the ravens.

I'd watched an old doc on Matthew Hopkins, the self-appointed Witchfinder General from Cromwell's time. He got paid for each witch he found...so obviously he found a lot. A real life monster. It got me thinking... if there was any truth in this witch nonsense, and he found one, he might get his just desserts. (Pencil, watercolour background).

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
