This is a cover I did awhile back for an album that never ended up getting used, because when the time finally came to release it, my laptop was busted and I didn’t have the means to recover it. I eventually was able to get into that hard drive, and I asked John’s permission to post it so it wouldn’t just be lost to the ages.

I decided to do another (maybe more to come) in this theme, as it was pretty well received in the past. The previous pieces were commissioned for The Ape Woman by May Oskan

and I colored the bird.

I also wrote a draft of something that might become… more. Hopefully. If I still feel good about it later.

So here it is.

I’ve been photoshopping her into various scenarios based on the pictures my sister-in-law posts on Facebook. Here are the ones I’ve done so far:
