(i didn't write it!) it was done to this panorama i did in 2009 (?) based on a Burl Ives song called "From Here On Up"
gotta say, doing illustrations and then having a story written to those...not a bad setup. i think i read somewhere that Lord Dunsany did it this way with Sydney Sime's drawings for his "Wonder Tales" - you kind of believe it when you read them, though maybe I read wrong
drew some skull stuff last year & just made a folder for them.
it's so crazy that Lotte Reiniger made a feature-length film that looked like this 10 years before Disney made anything that long

that ghost table drawing led to this little story, again pretty old now, but it's actually an idea I had in third grade. I've been trying to expand it into a book but it's tough to expand without ruining it - it makes me kind of emotional just the way it is.
"Ghost Goes In The Door" (an oldie now but still a goodie imo)
got reminded of this old one just now - I think most of my affection for it still comes from the pun on "legend". Happy almost Halloween you guys.
