Your artwork is always amazing! My friend Emil DeGrey tells me you went to Mt.View HS? I am probably from way before your time, but I went there as well... You are the only other artist I have discovered that likes to draw skulls as much as I do! Great work, very inspiring!!!
Nice! I could totally see this design sculpted into a marble wall or something. You're always good with those 'calligraphic' shapes that border this image. Wish I didn't suck so hard with that.
Ryan- I graduated MVHS in 1985, so I was a product of Mr. MacFarlane (RIP)- he was a good teacher, but the only skulls he encouraged us to draw were buffalo skulls... Nothin' wrong with that, but a few human skulls every now and then would have been good! Keep up the great work, bother Emil once in a while and tell him Patrick said hello...looking forward to seeing more skulls soon!!
Great piece!!! I really dig the colors and the smoke in the foreground looks awesome. Your work is amazing. Can't wait to see much more of it in the new year:)
Hey Ryan, Really love your work & love to visit ur blog regularly to see fantastic piece of art. Halloween themed, Christmas time, creatures, royalty, winter theme, almost all… are just amazing. Here also the skull, glowing eyes, snakes, looooong tongue & above all the atmosphere looks just gr8! Love to visit again & again & again…. - Kamat
