This is my winning entry to the Cemetery Dance New Screams chapbook cover contest. No details on the publication schedule, but it was a fun little project. Only spent about 6 hours on this. I would like to see what I can do if I take more time.

Did a quick portrait from photo reference (thanks Suicide Girls!) using pencil with pen and ink overtop. This is a drawing style I'm trying out for the 30 Day Art Challenge which is approaching fast. So far I like the result. Will likely end up a full blown painting.

If all goes as planned, this blog will start to get quite busy. I will be flexing my creative muscles over the next month in preparation to do 30 painting in 30 days. I've also gone back to figure drawing for the first time in 10 years. I'm a little rusty but here is the best image of my first session.
