Onryo

I conjured up this little horror art piece in honor of Halloween. Onryo is a spirit from Japanese folklore that returns to haunt the world of the living to seek vengeance, and most of the time it is female. Yes, I may have been a teeny bit inspired by The Grudge ;)

A print of this (and something else) will be on display at the Revenge of Freeky Fright Nights Art Show in Boston this weekend. Check it out if you are around and need something to get you in a Halloweeny mood!

Edward Scissorhands

I made this for Fanartica's potpourri week - a tribute to Edward Scissorhands. I was obsessed with this movie when I was in high school.

Cranshee

Here is a recent page from my webcomic, Wooden Rose. It was inspired by illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells, which I am a big fan of. Cranshee is a word I invented for a creature I made up. It is based on two Gaelic words: crann, which means 'tree', and sidhe, which means 'people of the mounds', in other words, faeries. If you want to know more about my tree faeries, read my comic :)
