Stan Rice - Some Lamb (1975)

I said I'd feature art from other artists, so it's time for a poem from Anne Rice's late husband, Stan. This poem is written about their daughter's death and it's very emotional...obviously. I don't think my rambling has any chance of improving this, so I'll stop and give you a link to the full poem on StanRice.com.

I definitely suggest reading this, but whether you do or not, I suggest reading Anne's books, too. They're all good. I still have to get around to reading Angel Time, which is sitting between my sketchbook (one of them) and Neverwhere, all of which is located on my SNES, so I can't miss it.

Horrible Attempt

This proves how horrible I am at drawing people that I don't want to mess up. If you ask me, she looks more like Katie Couric than herself.



One of the main things I should have fixed before posting this would have been her mouth. It's too low in the picture. I think the left eye (right on paper) also should have been closer to the center. This picture looks very little like her because of those two details.

Miss You

This is a piece of art technically meant for someone that I won't be able to see for a while (after the new year IF I'M LUCKY) and I hope she sees this. It was also a test of my new tablet and Photoshop's image creation abilities. I've found I'm better at editing than creation in Photoshop (due to its lack of the ability to undo multiple steps). Anyway, no more on that. Click for the full size image.



And before you ask; No. No, that text in the middle doesn't say anything.
