Back in Time, Illustratively Speaking

Sherman’s set the Wayback Machine for the 1960s, when I gravitated into art school, only to suffer–in my second year–a catastrophic apartment fire that wiped out 100% of the charcoal drawings and oil paintings I’d done in those two years (but not, amazingly, my first attempt at a short story, written for a night class I was taking). It’s only recently that I’ve started looking back at some of that illustration work (most of what I drew or painted fits that category). So I’m thinking maybe I’ll post a few of the survivors just for shits and giggles, starting with this Disney Fantasia-inspired technical pen rendition of Chernobog…because I always go for the light subjects.

Shadowbridge at Queen Titania’s Court

I very much enjoyed a second opportunity to visit Queen Titania’s Court this year–in this instance it was Leodora from SHADOWBRIDGE who stepped through into the magical realm. My thanks to author Deby Fredericks for the invitation.
