I know the text piece here is a bit on the nose, but both these pieces were in my sketchbook from the same time period and I felt they needed to appear together. At the time I was working at (then) Kinko's copies running a machine called a Docutech. It had an image manipulation software for document clean up that I occasionally found interesting imagery with. The word above was one such incidence. So I enlarged it and printed out a copy.

Saturday Sketch: Wolverine's Skeleton
I hadn't planned on exploring this as a sketch, but as things kept moving with the Magick set, I figured I owed it to Wolvy. He doesn't actually appear in Magik, but he does show up in the Uncanny X-Men #160 issue that leads into the limited series. He only appears for a couple of pages at the foot of Belasco's throne but I feel that any dead X-Man deserves remembrance. His corpse doesn't hold the same emotional impact as Colossus' from the previous sketch, but the fleshless bones of Wolverine are a omen of doom all their own.

Exhumed: Open Skull
Here we have a quick sketch of a strange skull. With the color reinvestiagtion I wanted to give it an environment to inhabit. I figured the skull has been sitting about for quite a long time collecting dust in some dark dungeon corner.

Psyche Delectus: Walpurgisnacht
Here is an bonus Psyche Delectus piece for this week in celebration of Walpurgisnacht. This time period is also the same as the Wiccan / Gaelic sabbat, Beltane. A happy Spring to all! May your bonfires burn bright! Only 6 months now until Halloween! :-)
From the Archives: Dance of Death and Life
Here is a sharpie sketch from long ago. I don't remember my exact inspiration for this piece but it is one of the few feminine/female nudes I've done.

Featured Creature: The Moonlight Calls It Forth
"We entered the graveyard in the hour after midnight and it was not long before we saw the thing. We noticed a figure moving oddly in the shadow of a tall tree. As we walked closer, the horror that had been a man emerged into the full light of the moon.
Its putrescence was obvious as it staggered slowly towards us. The rancid odor coming off the thing poisoned the very air. I covered my mouth with the neck of my shirt to keep from retching.

Saturday Sketch: Belasco's Altar
Continuing the Magik set, here we have Belasco's altar. Protruding from one of the towers of his citadel, this was the demon lord's high place of power. Here the walls between Limbo and the Earth dimension were thinnest. Illyana uses this location to return to Earth at the end of the Marvel Comics Magik limited series.
