It Came From Below

(It Came From Below, 2017. Sharpie Marker on Cardstock)

This image served two purposes, the first being to improve my proficiency in using sharpies as a drawing medium.  The second purpose was to obtain extra credit in my Intermediate Drawing Course at Missouri Western State University. Surprisingly, this work was chosen for the 2017 Potter Hall Juried Art Exhibition, the first time my work has ever been placed in an art gallery. My primary source of inspiration came from Stephen King's work, It; however, people have claimed it unintentionally takes cues from John R. Dilworth's animated series, Courage the Cowardly Dog. Matter of fact, this work was actually praised by Dilworth himself shortly after the gallery opened.
