From another one of my E-Bay customers. The guy sent me a photograph of the person he wanted illustrated and gave me complete artistic license on how I wanted to execute the piece.
Once I saw the photograph, I was immediately inspired to take a trip down to Brookfield Cemetery out in the Brookfields and take a few photographs of some of the older Revolutionary War era graves for some background images.
The result is what you see above.
I gave the piece the unofficial title Memento Morti. I had taken a close up shot of one of the gravestones. One of the things I love about headstones from that era is the creepy artwork up at the top of them. But I noticed that written on the stone when I was looking at the photograph later on and it stuck with me.
Some of you might recognize the crypt from one of my earlier sequential works Ghosts' Story which I collaborated on with my friend Rori who wrote it from one of her own spectral experiences.
That story appeared in the Undercoverfish Group's anthology titled 103 in the Shade.
