Halloween Art Trading Cards

Here are a couple little Art Cards I drew while watching Project Runway on TV. Shading under the flickering light of the old tube.

"Poor Yorick", Graphite pencil, 2.5"x3.5", 2009-09-10



"Happy Skull", Graphite pencil, 3.5"x2.5", 2009-09-10

Bat, After the Fall

“Bat, After the Fall”, Charcoal pastel on paper, 14” x 17”, 2009-07-11

I found a dead bat in my studio a while ago and I set it on a plate and left it to molder. The wings and legs came off the carcas when I last moved it so I did this drawing. It is still on it's plate in my studio.

More ATC ACEO woodcut prints

I have started getting a jump on "The Day of the Dead" artwork with some new ACEO (art cards, editions, originals) ATC (art trading cards) sized relief prints as the one print I have is sold out. My concept on this series is each print has a black and white version with and edition size of 20 and a multi-color version with an edition size of ~10. So here is the first Black and White print, more to follow. - John Terwilliger
