David hockney is an artist that i have found who has done some illustrative etchings retelling the story of A Rakes Progress. In his etchings he has modernized the story, making it look like tom rakewell is going to modern day london, and visiting bars and opera houses.

the etchings david has done are very etchy and simple, so im still unsure if i like them, but i will use them as reference in my printing work as the style of drawing is similar to my lino work and block printing work.
