Skeletal Cello: Melancholy Sonata

An early Happy Halloween to you!

This illustration is part of my (growing) series of skeletal musicians, made with pen/ink, digital coloring and a touch of photo textures. It explores the dark romanticism present in the melancholy sound of the cello.

Enduring Hope

“Enduring Hope” is a skeletal homage to Mother Nature and is inspired by Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” and the upcoming Day of the Dead. In today’s pop culture, images of skeletons don’t hold the same horror and disdain as it has in the past and I wanted to explore that concept–where death is an integral part of life and there’s always beauty in the most mundane or misunderstood subjects. This piece was created with pen/ink and incorporates some of my photographic textures and backgrounds.
