Barnabas Collins by Farel Dalrymple

Here's a pencil and ink sketch I got last summer from Farel Dalrymple, artist of such books as Pop Gun War, Omega the Unknown and tons of other stuff. He's also an amazingly nice guy and contributed art to a charity auction I tried to organize last year.

The art was inspired by the retouched photos on the pink Dark Shadows trading cards, which were altered to make Jonathan Frid's eyes spookier.

I apologize for the quality of the "scan," which is a cell phone photo of the art. It is currently framed and matted which makes it difficult to capture a quality image. 

Note: if you've seen this image before, it's because I submitted to to Super Punch a while back. It's a terrific blog and I suggest you check it out.
