Nightmares!!!... Because this is going "on tour" with the Sketchbook Project I actuall covered the whole thing in cellophane tape so it would withstand many handlings. Part of me is happy to be completed. Part of me is heartbroken to send off something that I've truly put so much of my heart and soul and time into.

Frozen stiff... This one started with this gnome-lookin' fellow with the ice formation in front of him. I pictured him as this evil character who had Medusa-like powers.

The bones! The bones!... This one I think has to be my favorite. Even the hand cramp I got from drawing so many stinkin' skulls was worth it. I think if I ever do a illustrate a book - this is the feel I would like it to have. Just love it.

Over and over... I admittedly struggled with this one. I wasn't quite sure where to go with this old-time musician. I tried to picture what his "hell" would be and came up with this idea of being forced to play the same song repeatedly until the end of time.

Only an afterthought... I started this one with cutting up an image of a painting by one of my favorite artists, El Greco (perhaps he's a favorite because his style is much like a fashion ilustrator's with elongated figures), but placed two of the characters differently than they were in the painting. I liked how they were looking up at something - but what? I've been in this mode of thinking about designing a costume for a Victorian-era burlesque dancer/circus performer. And so came out these hanging ballerina/suicide girls who's costume definitely has a burlesque/circus flair.

I know not where to go... I really am happy with how this page turned out. I especially like the boarded up windows. I wanted to give a sense of both being trapped and feeling alone and hopeless. I compartmentalized sections of this to give that impression.
