Artist's Comments

In November last year I was lurking around a graveyard at night (as you do) taking some photos, and got a lovely shot of the light from a lamp post illuminating an area of gravestones beside the church wall. It's a beautifully atmospheric scene, and I've tried to communicate that through ink. The version on here is slightly scaled down, as it has a bit more impact tone-wise. Make of it what you will!

Beautifully done; Great composition of shadows and stone. Your night of lurking paid off nicely!!!!---but don't you find it kinda creepy being in a cemetery in the "dead" of night?

love the composition! Good use of negative space

I really like your works. Fantastic:)

Nice to hear from you folks - thanks a bunch!

Ricky- Hell yes! But it's a beautiful kind of creepy. I had a friend with me at the time - we were ghost hunting, though I hadn't banked on the place being lit by street lamps. The church yeard is reputedly the most haunted in Surrey (the county where I live), so at least that notion makes me appear a little more sane ;)

Great job on this piece. You've used the paper well. :thumbsup: :) I love the subtle light, and the dark shadows. It really transports the viewer into this place. You have a sense of silence, peace, and a little discomfort over what might be lurking in the dark. Very nice. :thumbsup: :D

See, this one speaks to me. A lot. I can almost hear the absence of music, heralding some horrific truth about to be observed, such as something moving where nothing should. Nice ambience here. You really have a feel for "things black." =)

Faile, Dyun and Kayla - I really appreciate your words. I get the feeling you really understand why I was there in the first place, and why it's such a beautiful sight. Beautiful, but discomforting :)

Thanks again :love:

Curses! I was going to be the one to comment first, but then I couldn't think of anything to say...

It's very meaningful, as I suppose all your drawings are. Your drawings seem to diminish any critique I can possibly offe.

So....sorry :|

Cheers,
Jeff
