"Lust at Dust's Light"


"Lust at Dust's Light"
Watercolor on paper
prints available

Vampirism is the practice of drinking blood from a person or animal. In folklore and popular culture, the term refers to a belief that one can gain supernatural powers by drinking human blood.
This illustration was a practice in creating something a little darker. By mixing a potentially dark subject matter with bright "fun" colors, I was interested in the results. I think it turned out nice - Let me know what you think.
