There was a time, a once-upon-a-time sort of a time, when I worked a great deal in graphite (that's pencils, to the non-artsy types out there). Below are just a few low-resolution examples:
Dragon Prows, 1987
Before the Flying Dutchman, were there others doomed to roam the seas?
Horsemen, 1987
Mirror, mirror....
The image below is a representation of the "Unseelie Court," the evil aerial faeries of Scottish folklore. Some unfortunates were believed to have been abducted upon occasion by this band of mischevious malificents, to undergo a night of terror, before being returned to bed or gutter at daybreak. Some interesting parallels with the modern "UFO abduction" phenomena exist here.
Face the Moon, Captive, 1987
Unleashed, 1985
This illustration was done in pen-and-ink, but what the heck--it looks good here anyway.
