Schwarowski

This is one of those illustrations that I can't remember much about. It appeared along with another illustration in 'Interzone' magazine (issue 199) to accompany a short story called 'Bird Songs at Eventide' written by Nina Allan in 2005.

All I can really remember about it is that the man is called Schwarowski (its on the file name of the illustration) and that he was the boss on a scientific observation post on another planet (I think), he had scarred hands and the thing in the jar is a dragons scale.

There, you know as much as me.
