The lady in the wheelchair

A second piece for my MFA thesis. I got to comp up six pieces in class a couple of weeks ago and I believe they are quite successful ideas. I am starting to include some of the concepts that the faculty provided in their lectures and talks. It is making a massive difference in how I create. I have a long way to go, and I am excited about where this path is going.

Cryptic Strays final 3: The boy stared at this thing and tried to figure out what it was, trying to convince himself it was probably just part of the tree... then the shape shifted it’s weight.

The Cryptic Strays... new sketch for the thing in the tree

This is what I am going with for the composition for The Thing in the Tree... The previous version with the thing in the moonlight is too different from what I am trying to accomplish. I am striving for something a bit more quiet and personal.

new sketch for the series... "When the first boy pointed out the shape, the boys agreed that it looked creepy but began to doubt the validity of what the first boy claimed… then the shape moved."  Thanks for stopping by.

And She's Still Staring at me!!

The piece is titled "And She's Still Staring At Me!!"  from a new series I am starting called The Cryptic Strays.  The Cryptic Strays is a series of drawings inspired by strange or ghostly stories that have been told to me by those who experienced the incidents.
