Vacant


Not even a ghost could keep Zoe and Charlie out of the vacant boy's head.
It was the prefect hide out.

    Ha, I love your illustration. So hip and so creative. Love the all orange boy. Like a pumpkin? Love that the kids are playing around in his head. I get inside my husband's head sometimes.

    Wow...cute and disturbing. It's making me think of a couple of Guillermo del Toro films & also of The Spirit of the Beehive (inspiration for Pan's Labyrinth).

    Yikes, that is one creepy little dude. His head is absolutely enormous! Must have a problem with his pituitary gland.

    Well.... of course, he is dead, so its not a problem any more.

    Nice stuff buddy!
