Special thanks to:

Tanner Notch, for trimming my bangs. They really are beautiful.

Nate - last name unknown, for scarring my eyebrow. I killed a man.

and, of course, Erin Reeder, for toasting bagels at 2:30 in the morning. She knows what's on my mind.

this is the painting i made for jason. the monster is taken from a flashlight book that i bought at salvation army.

this is also the first painting i have ever painted in this style. my previous paintings have all been solid colors, i've been playing around with mixing different colors for texture and shading. and this is the result.
