Krampus - Children of Yuletide

The Children of Yuletide show is now open! And from what I hear it is off to a great start after the opening reception this past Friday night. As promised I have my piece from the show on the blog today! I have only been wanting to do this piece for about 4 years, so it is a good thing that this show came along and got me off my butt to finally do this piece. I present you with my Krampus...

This is the biggest drawing I have done in a long long time. I actually had to work on it at my drawing table exclusively instead of dragging it around with me and working on it little by little here and there. Making a ever more conscience effort to document my drawings I have for you some images of the process...

As mentioned above, the Children of Yuletide show opened this past Friday night. While I could not attend I was able to steal some images of the opening off the internet (THANKS, MIKE!) It sure looks like a fun time! Look at all that art! You can see my piece in the center of both photos...

I will not be there, but my art will be. I am very excited about the piece I have in the show and I have been working on it for awhile now. I am keeping my piece under wraps until the show opens, but  I will say it is a piece for subject matter that I have been wanting to tackle for a LONG time. It is also the largest drawing I have done in... well... a VERY long time. Those watching my Instagram and Facebook Fan Page carefully will have seen several sneak peeks of what I have cooking up. If you missed them... here they are...
