Mummy Trouble!

Have I mentioned I enjoy art that doesn't take itself too seriously?  This painting was a blast.  Creepy, barely-held-together mummies rank pretty high on the scale of things that are fun to draw.  Octopuses and ogres are also up there (Vases are not on the list).
  • To scale? Nope
  • Well researched? Hardly.Though I will admit to reading a tiny bit on pith helmets and period handguns. The one shown is intended to be a Lancaster Pistol from the mid to late 19th century. 
  • Includes Teddy Roosevelt?  Not a purpose but I like the look.

8x10 ink and acrylics on paper.
