Muerte.

Okay, this is my second.. maybe third.. favourite piece for the show (I only have one left to finish by Friday, hooray!). And I promise this is the last "offensive" thing I'll be posting for a while. I had originally sketched out a cat skeleton on this paper, but last night I decided that I wasn't really into it, and began this instead. I'm glad that I did.

I'm pretty disappointed in the scan though. I hope someone at the show takes photos. Oh, and I think I noted this before, but this isn't the entire page - it doesn't fit in my scanner, but the important part is clearly there. The sheet is dated December 5th, 1957, so I was a bit nervous working on it. The left edge that you can't see is torn and singed (not by me), the top left has some ancient looking dirt, and there is an equally ancient looking watermark at the bottom. I love all of the secret history in this.
