Ghost Lodge

My lovely sis is a writer.  She’s been tapped for a book on Alaskan ghost stories.  The book is now written, and lucky for me, they were a bit short on images.  So she tapped me to illustrate a couple of places where AK ghosts come in from the cold.  This is a lodge, and right now I can’t remember what it’s called.  Get back to you on that.

Pencil and ink, and I colored the images in Photoshop.  I’ve got another image to do, I’ll post it soon.  Below are more rough versions of the illustration.  I liked the grey one, as it is kind of ‘spooky.’  I could see a ghost hanging out there.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
