Leaf Ghost #183

Same inks as #181 only reversed. Typically lighter colors work better as backgrounds, but in this pairing I think the Evening Cherry Blossom stands out more as the leaf. Maybe it’s just because the brain doesn’t have to labor as hard to accept a red leaf.

Both combinations bear an odd resemblance to graphite, at least in the photos. Fortunately not as messy.

Leaf Ghost #182

Almost done with “The Pit and the Pendulum.” Our nameless protagonist has escaped the blade. But what new horrors await? With luck, the next Poe ghost will tell.
