Deadly Beauty

With her latest victim's blood splattering the wall, you would be wise to keep a distance from this female vampire should you meet her in a dark alleyway! 

This illustration was the second to be done for my gothic vampire series, Red Death, drawn exclusively in black and white with a touch of red. This image was used by DNA Publications as the cover of the Spring 1997 edition of the magazine Dreams of Decadence.

Ancient Blood

This illustration is the ninth image for my gothic vampire series, Red Death.  This image captures a medieval beauty in a time and place long since gone.  She has lived for many centuries, all the while her thirst for blood has never ceased. 

My favorite part of this piece was the fun I had with the stained glass window in the background!
