"Blood on the Walls"

This one has been a long time coming, but finally it is done. This is for "Darc Karnivale" and the story is called "Blood on the Walls" written by Dave Rex. Two things I really love about this one is that the model is my buddy Suzi Lorraine and the building in the background is the Waverly Hills Sanatorium somewhere in Kentucky. Anyone that watches any Ghost Hunter type show will be familiar with this place. This is where the story takes place.
Tonight and Tomorrow I will be working on new Logo's for everything we have going on. The middle of the week, I will be starting on the breakdowns for the "Mental Scars" Graphic Novel. I have a week off from carpet laying and I'm going to be busting my fanny getting as much done as possible. Scott and Kim are taking a trip back to NC for a week to see friends they made while they lived there and I think they are going to spend a few days at the beach as well.
I will be getting the website up this week, I want to tweak on it some more. Cheryl has already set up a Zazzle shop for us, and there is a link to it on the top right. Now you can get your favorite Nick art on about anything you want. So please check out the shop. I know money is tight for everyone these days, so if nothing else, just check it out and let us know if there is something you want to see that we don't have on there yet. She will be adding new things weekly, and some of it will be the old classic stuff you haven't seen in years.
Well, that's it for now, but I will be posting a good bit over the next week, keeping you updated on all the new stuff coming. Peace and Blessings everyone.

Thank you so much George. But if you remember when I was training under Todd Lockwood, He made me go downtown and draw nothing but buildings 2 days a week for a whole summer. I never really understood just how much I learned from that until now. Perspective is a Bit*h, and a artist should take it very seriously. As an illustrator it is really a big deal. You have to know how to draw EVERYTHING.
And buddy, do you think I would hide skulls in the clouds? he he he
