-Traveling Masks

This will be for Vertigo's House of Mystery's Halloween Annual


Bunch of thumbnail sketches.. Venetian-mask inspired.




And here is the original painting, it will be framed and part of my show in October over at Thinkspace Gallery.

Oil on wood. 12"x18"

I'm going to Barcelona Spain today and will hopefully have a couple of sketchbook pages to show when I get back.

This spooky "microchibus phasma" was sent to me from Skeletal Dropkick.
Thanks Cris.

Ciao and Adios

Oh my, look how cute that dog is! The toy reminds me of the little tator tots sonic had with kids meals.

these masks are amazing, they're surreal yet morbid. they're sinister, but it doesn't compromise the immortality and class that venetian masks are known for. i would love to have a tattoo design based on these drawings.
