Pen and ink, watercolor on paper The title of this piece is Untitled (The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories
Pen and ink, marker and colored pencil on paper. the title of this piece is Untitled Ramone I have always loved Tim Burtons work. I have watched many of his films and I think his art is unique and different from other artists. just how he thinks of his characters, how he creates them and how each one is different. but yet they all have this dark feel to them.
