I am proud to announce that this particular drawing was recently published in Lowrider Arte Magazine. I have always enjoyed flipping through the pages of this magazine for ideas and inspiration. It was a blast to buy a copy of a Lowrider magazine and see my own work there!
You can also find this piece published in the River’s Voice: A Journal of Art and Literature (vol. 12) published by Rio Hondo College. Please see the entire picture at the bottom of this page.
As I get them scanned, I will be posting drawings here that I made during the planning phase such as the skulls below. I also will include some tips I came across that can help artists working with India ink and nib pens.

Death Awaits
At the time of its completion, this piece represented my most advanced work to date. Drawing with one color is extremely challenging in that items need to be juxtaposed in such a way that they do not bleed together in pure black.
Physiognomy Here are three views of a human skull I made so as to better understand the structural features of a human face. I consulted Gray’s Anatomy. Given the theme of this particular piece, it wasn’t necessary to add flesh!
