Description This is a pure pen and ink piece I did for a tribute book that was given out at a dinner to honor the author Peter S. Beagle for his fantastic book "The Last Unicorn." (among other great books like "Tasmin" and "A Fine and Private Place" all recommended)

Even though it didn't make it in the book he still saw it and wrote an e-mail to say he loved it! He said it "looked to me like something off an old Greek vase." Hooray for Pete!

Awesome picture! I like the texture in all the waves

Also wanted to let you know they're running an official Last Unicorn art contest, if you were interested Its so they can put together an artbook and I'd love to see as many great artists as possible enter. I made a journal entry with it with more details, I don't want to spam you.

Your ink work is always gorgeous and has a beautiful sense of style, and this is no exception. The white forms and the dense hatching works together wonderfully!
