Runs with scissors,
but doesn't eat paste

Horror Vacui

Horror Vacui is the fear of empty spaces in art.  It is the filling of the entire surface of a space or an artwork with detail.

Back in the Fall of 2012 I created an All Hallow’s Eve drawing on a ceramic platter.  It took a great deal of time, because I started drawing small and filled the entire piece.  It was a fun, comical drawing that captured the excitement of Halloween when I was a kid.  I’ve decided to redraw (and add more detail) in Adobe Illustrator.  This will be a big project, so I figure I should start now if I am to have it completed by Fall of 2013.

The images I post on my progress are zoomed in at 300 − 400% of the actual size.
As I add more to the image, I’ll post wip (work in progress) pics.
I appreciate all feedback, too. So don’t be shy!
