Beliefs - Drawing of a tombstone by Jason Collins

Description

This one is a bit of a mixed media piece, although you can't really tell from looking at it. I started it with just pencil and added black colored pencil and even watercolor pencil to get those really dark spots. I just hate when graphite doesn't really get black, it just gets dark gray and shiny. So I used these other tools instead. Just don't get it wet ;)

This one is actually a few years old. I haven't wanted to let go of it, but I think I'm finally ready see it find a new home. It's currently matted and framed with a white mat and black metal frame.

I don't know the exact dimensions off the top of my head since this is an older one, but I'll check those and edit this later. For right now lets just say it's about 18 inches square.

It was inspired by a photo on the inside cover of a Type-o-negative CD, although I think it's only found in the limited edition digi-pak version. The CD is Bloody Kisses and you can see what the original photo looked like here...

Looking back on it, I think I like mine better. Maybe that's just the arrogant artist in me. :) I titled it beliefs because people kept asking me if it was Jesus or an angel or something. Anyway hope you like it as much as I do. :)
