NEW WORK






Hi all, I'm totally not dead. I have however taken a lot of time to draw the largest stippling-only piece I've ever made. I probably won't be doing it again, it's really bad on the wrist.

The drawing was made for the American Black Metal band Ash Borer, for the rerelease of their first cassette. I'll be posting more information on the release itself when I have it handy. Ash Borer is a very good band whose musicianship and attention to detail will set them above other acts in time to come.

The drawing itself is based on Dore's The Tempest, or Back into the Tempest. I was planning to add staircases and bones and such, but there is a haunting, eerie quality to the original which deserves not to be spoiled with more details.
