Do not spaz! I repeat! Do not spaz! I had to fix a little typo in the
description. Yes, it was the spelling of cinquain’s strange username.
What can I tell ya? She was filling my inbox up with hate mail!!! pft!!
Now we return you to your regular scheduled programming.

HEY!!
i heard that!
oh, you KNOW what i'm talkin' about.
that big collective *sigh* from ALL of you,...combined with all of the
collective murmuring beneath your collective breath:
'omg. not ANOTHER johnny depp picture!! *guuuuuhROAN*'
well. whateva.
look.
i gave you fair warning.
i've been telling ya eva since i butchered my man JD in my 'sleepy hollow'
piece that i was going to give it another shot sooner or later.
well,...
it's later!
at least i didn't do another captain jack sparrow drawing! heh.
although it did cross my mind. *smirk*
but, i don't know,...i guess i just identify more closely with his inspector abberline
character in the movie 'from hell'.
that should come as no surprise to some of you. hmmmmmm?
uhm. about that goofy looking cubism stuff going in the background,...
was trying something different. *shrug*
hey. i hadda try!
be good you guys!
seinfeld rerun time!
your faithful tool.

yikes! one last thing! the little art nouveau border ornament courtesy of rL-Brushes!
some most excellant photoshop brushes to be scarfed there! go get some! now!!
Really beautiful drawing. I like the big grain from the graphite. It almost resembles pointillism. Beautiful tone work and background.
By the way, I've never heard of From Hell before. Is it a bit like The Ninth Gate? Judging from the genre I can imagine Depp was asked for From Hell after his successful role in The Ninth Gate. It still remains among my favorite movies.
well, you need to see from hell. it was based on a graphic novel written by alan moore and illustrated by eddie campbell. i guess you could call it their take on one of the theories with regards to the jack the ripper story. depp plays inspector abberline who joins the hunt for the ripper. i won't bore you any further with my blathering except to say you should go get it. now!
naaaaaaa. actually i stole it!! just kidding!!! heh. although if you asked me to show it to you these days at a show i couldn't. i sold it about a year ago. hated to see it go!! thanks for the comment!!
