This is perhaps one of my greatest personal achievements.

It was inspired by my love of everything Norse and the macabre brilliance of Edward Gorey's Gashly Crumb Tinies.

I decided to one day write out a poem based on the ABC's of how Vikings can die- once per week I would do a 5 by 5 inch pencil drawing to go with each letter. On the weekend I would paint it in Photoshop and Painter. I did this until I had the entire alphabet- I then had a run of 2000 limited high quality lithos done as a collectable poster (measuring some 39 inches tall!)

It won a first place Summit award- I wish there was a way I could enter the entire piece as a whole into Expose, but I don't know how they could display it if it were chosen.

I have been selling the prints signed and numbered from my
paypal address: gangus@ravensoft.com (shipping included) for a little while, and they have been doing good.
I am currently hoping to have it turned into a coffee table book but am still looking to find the right partner to publish.

I thought I would share this work with you guys as it is my proudest self-project finished to date, born of dedication and passion. I'm hoping someday I will compile enough Victory Gals to make a similar claim.

If you are having trouble seeing them large enough-I have added larger versions in my CG portfolio for you to get a closer look at.
Please tell your network mates to check it out- I love it when this work can strike somebody's funny bone.

Respectfully,
Gangus
