Final Jacob Marley Art

Two versions. One with a ghost, one with an invisible ghost. Both are getting a hit of glow-in-the-dark ink over the ghost's profile.

Hey! These are great. I wonder which version you ran with? I like the one with the 'visible' ghost, that extra area of intrest adds balance to the composition, I think. The color choices on this really appeal to me as well. I like that you went for a kind of monochrome look but used the blues instead of gray or sepia tones. Good stuff!

Hey, thanks Siolo,

We printed both versions and hit both of them with the glow-in-the-dark paint. I like the one without the ghost outline better, I think, because the viewer has to "solve" it a little more. But I like both of them. Glad you like the colors too. I thought the blue felt snowy, you know?

Yes, note to self 'blue for winter themed work'. Asking the viewer to solve for the ghost... I can see where you are going with that, you must trust your audience more than I do. It's something I've been thinking about a fair bit, trying to leave a little more to the imagination in my own work. Well, cheers and I look forward to your future posts :)
