Description
A little commission I've just completed for a magazine called 'Classic Monsters'.Media: pen and ink, digital.
Based on the poem by William Blake:
'And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands[8] mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.'

Very scary, this one. It's for a magazine called 'Classic Monsters'. It's a glossy magazine featuring articles about the old classic black and white horror films (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Werewolf, the Mummy).

The shape of the cat's (?) neck really takes the creepiness factor up a notch! I like how it imitates the shape of the chimneys...nice work!
