This
piece was illustrated from the liner notes of the soundtrack from
a foreign film, "Bunker Palace Hotel". I have never seen the film
(believe me I have tried to find a copy),but the image of this scene
made a lasting impression. A friend had loaned me the disc and I
wanted the image so, being that I didn't have a computer at the
time to scan it, I rendered the scene as close as I could. The heavy
noir atmosphere inspired me to experiment with a new approach. This
illustration, in every way, refined and defined my style for sequential
illustration on Beyond Reach.
