Illustration Friday: Beneath

TGIF, everybody!  This week’s submission for Illustration Friday comes from the Lovecraft-inspired children's book The Antarctic Express.  In this scene, Professor Dyer and young Danforth discover ancient wall carvings on the walls of the Old Ones’ city, hidden deep beneath the ice of the Antarctic.  This scene is a pastiche of the scene of Santa holding up the sleigh bell from The Polar Express, which The Antarctic Express lovingly parodies, and features my nephew Emmet as Danforth.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
