Round and Round

(2B pencil on a 176mm x 102mm book title page) Book burning can be one of the ultimate acts of blasphemy. I chose this book because it tells the story of two people bouncing around the galaxy, relying on a guide book that's completely useless to them.

(HB pencil on 85mm x 50mm card) A strange spyglass that, when you look through it, allows you to see the spirits of the dead around you.

(black biro on 74mm x 105mm card) When there were more pubs, you'd see many a wandering drunk around the streets at chucking out time. Zombie-like beings with only a strange homing-pigeon instinct left as intelligence.

The background is made out of an old notebook I cut up and glued with modpodge. My obsession with hands continues.

I found an old book of sheet music. I think it makes for a nice background. The marks are simple here but I like the overall big gestures.

Simple shapes but I was happy with the composition. I also love the brown color of the cardboard as a background.
