I made a thing

Original illustration of Nora from Halloween Resurrection

This is another piece that I drew to someone else’s specifications (though they didn’t know it until they got it for Christmas). Long ago I thought I would hate to be an artist for hire and avoided all requests for drawing, but I find drawing something out of my norm to be very invigorating. Granted, my most recent experiences did not involve negotiated changes to the art. This is something I saw in my Father’s industry that steered me away from an art career of any kind.

Anyway, the picture is of Tyra Banks’ character Nora in Halloween Resurrection (wiki) enjoying a latte while her coworker is murdered on a screen just outside her eye-line. I had to composite a few different angles from the movie as the two images do not appear quite like I needed them to in the movie as I’ve seen it.

A ghost story

A ghost story published on 1 Comment on A ghost story
Original artwork created based on a sentence from the beginning section of A School Story by M.R. James: ‘Also there was the lady who, on locking her bedroom door in a strange house, heard a thin voice among the bed-curtains say, ‘Now we’re shut in for the night.’

Good friends of mine recently commissioned me to visually render a sentence. I loved the challenge and am quite happy with the result! The sentence came from the beginning section of A School Story by M.R. James: ‘Also there was the lady who, on locking her bedroom door in a strange house, heard a thin voice among the bed-curtains say, ‘Now we’re shut in for the night.’ If you are hankering for a ghost story, then you can listen to A School Story read by Michael Hordern:

Old Art – pulled from the paper heap

Old Art – pulled from the paper heap published on No Comments on Old Art – pulled from the paper heap

The last time I did a clean-out of our spare closet, where all the sketchbooks and craft supplies are kept, I found my first attempt at creating a tarot deck of my own- filled with caricatures of my friends and family. I didn’t get very far, and I would do things so much different now, but these images still give me a chuckle.
