This past week several on-line news and entertainment sites ran stories about Jordan Lloyd and Mads Madsen, two young digital artists who work on colorizing old black and white photographs. As it turns out, both are particularly interested in the U.S. Civil War. For a more or less complete catalog of their amazing work (including colorized photos of the Depression-era, World War II, the American Civil Rights movement, among other topics), check out their Facebook-based homepages at Photo Chopshop and Colorized History.
