The Ghoul and the Grackles

WIPS

I found this tin at Goodwill this weekend. This is a story that’s been in my sketchbook for over a year. I’m having trouble capturing the diorama with my camera tonight, but I think this is good enough. Aside from the poor-ish photos, I’m happy with this one. I like the feeling that there’s on outside contained within the inside of the box. More soon.

    I love everything, including the photos. This stuff rocks. Are they gonna be animated one day? Led lights, moving parts? I can see you going there…but if not, this is already plenty awesome.

    Hooray! Another of your encapsulated tin stories. These just wow me. And when your ghoul starts spawning, send some offspring my way – grackles have had it their own way far faaaar too long around here… Process photos just make it.
