Arabian Nights Potpourri

Here are two images inspired by tales from the Arabian Nights. The first (see above) is a drawing of the Arabian Nights story Ali-Baba and the Forty Thieves I created last summer (the end of July, I think). The moment depicted in the pen-and-ink/ink wash picture is when Ali-Baba first enters the Cave of the Forty Thieves. The second (see below) is a pen-and-ink/watercolour picture of Aladdin and the Genie of the Lamp, which I created last month.
