Whoa, that is butch.
With the pale hand up front and especially the enticing 'Monocle of Color', hovering like a gutsy origin background? To Skeleton Head himself?
As if narrating or reminiscing heartily if not bemusedly even, on say fortune or endeavors per chance?
Neat-O.

That drawing is great!
Excellent call.
As I wasn't making the Poe connection, not realizing this piece to being a 'Skeleton Head meets Poe pastiche' I should be looking into his short stories again, and for me the vulture-eye you mention isn't ringing any bells.
So I will look into those stories, with hypothesizin' on whether such tales could be springing from old cooty daguerrotypes or such. Which'll be cool, so thanks.
