Postcards to Alphaville

So I found this great website a while ago and jumped at the chance to do a piece for it. It's called Postcards to Alphaville and it's all about characters from great films. Basically you watch a film and then make an illustration based on a character from the film. I watched Distant Voices/Still Lives by Terence ...

Mitt Bust

First off, I have to apologize for being out of the loop for so long. I've been at turns busy, traveling, or sick for the past few weeks.
