Description A close friend of mine passed away recently and I've kind of been in a slump. (not the girl in the drawing just to clarify) This piece is a reflection on death and life and their oneness- the drawing is quite detailed. (ballpoint pen, gouache and goldleaf )

This could be an album cover. I adore all the random body parts that I keep finding, especially the eyeball in the ribs.

It's amazing how a regular ballpoint pen, can give such a result. You definitely have the ultimate technique in inking, it looks like old printed posters engraved by hand.

I'm sorry.

Love how you depicted "on death and life in their oneness." Quite honestly, the more I think about these kinds of things, the stranger it gets. You'd think it would actually start to make sense. Never does.

I love all the different pen strokes and effects, especially the cross-hatching and how the hair turns into a bird-- Just gorgeous. The flies are a great detail too.

Sorry for your loss, but I'm sure your friend would be very happy you managed to transform your grief into something so beautiful and meaningful
