Artist's Comments

Jenny as a ghede, an intermediary between the living and the dead. She's a trickster. Her crow and reticulated python are both albino, and their names are Nebakenezar and Loa, respectively. She wears a ring made from a 1922 double-died wheat penny, and her crow wear a tooth that once belonged to the pirate queen Mary Reade. If you give her an apple or a very nice kiss, she'll let you wear her hat.

My sister and I have always been totally enamored with voodoo, and the more I learn about it, the more I love it.

This was inspired by one of my all-time favorite pieces of art by :iconvanheist:, and by like, half the songs Tom Waits has ever written. There's no better music for Halloween, ever.

And yeah, I thought I was being all super-original and stuff, but evidently some character from Witchblade (which I've never picked up) has the whole skull facepaint, python, top hat ensemble going on. LAME.


materials: pencil on paper + PS7
music: Tom Waits, "Don't Go Into That Barn"

Have you heard the song 'Voodoo Child' by Rouge Traders? It would go very nicely with this piece.

This left me speechless. I love this variation of Jenny.
Oh, and...

This is simply incredible....That hat captures a lot of attention, it has so much character on it's own what with it's fraying edges. Jenny looks as lovely as ever and I think the voodoo style fits her very well. The skull makeup is very charming, and just...the overall theme of this is really lovely to see, and so inspiring. I love that her crow also as a tooth-necklace.
