The Hunter's Moon

This is the frontispiece for DIFFERENT SEASONS, a novella by Trever Palmer that my wife and I will be publishing in October. I'm pretty proud of this one as it is such a departure from my normal style. For this book, I wanted to do something stylistically different and special for the frontispiece. This piece is inspired by the work of Stephen Gammell, illustrator of the SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK series of children's books. This is one of the first pieces I've done that I used a lot of pencil and charcoal on.
