Soul Keeper
This is a pen & ink piece I did after seeing some of Kay Nielsen’s illustrations from the Book of the dead, printed in Black & White Images – First Annual Collection. The golden era of pen & ink illustration 1890-1922. This piece is based on the Preface plate. Jim Vadeboncoeur really should be applauded for his efforts in preserving and making available this kind of illustration work – in print, which is key. I especially love the Black and White annuals – gorgeous! Big surprise, eh? Anyway, this was my first take. I later did a digital version that I liked quite a bit as well. C r e e p y. Now that I see the pen & ink version again, I think I like it better. Big surprise eh? hehe
