Here are some process shots from the same digital painting. That creepy carapace in the first sketch that didn't carry through to the later versions.

Was thinking about this old painting of mine that I abandoned. Looking at it again, it's really not in a bad place, I might gently tidy up some of its rougher edgers - or should it be left as is?

VISIONS OF CASSANDRA (1975)
Acrylic on Canvas - 24” x 20”
The central images came to me when I was still in college. Five years later when I received the cover assignment, they resurfaced and I committed them to canvas. An example of how a commercial assignment can still satisfy one’s creative impulses. 1/3

NIGHTMARE IN RED (1981)
Acrylic over pastels - 25 ½” x 20”
TALES FROM THE NIGHTSIDE is a collection of macabre stories by Charles L. Grant.
I accepted a commission to do the cover art in the gloomy winter of 1980-81. There had been recent deaths in my family and among friends; the weather was bleak; John Lennon had been shot, and so on. 1/3

Your Familiar
My little witchy kitties will always be my favourite familiars - only a few of this print left now and still one of my best I think.
