His paintings and engravings depict the society of which he lived, with the costumes and ways of life of the times all shown in his work.

The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan tells the story of Christian, a deeply religious man whose self-imposed pilgrimage takes him through a variety of locations in his quest to reach Celestial City.

I’ve always jokingly said that my life was a series of unfortunate events. When I was about five years young, I was sexually abused by a family member for several years.
