Description

This is Heimdall, the Norse guardian of the Rainbow Bridge. It is he who blows his horn when Ragnarok is at hand.

I was at Free Spirit Gathering when I started this drawing. It was morning, and I was walking back from the White House with my coffee (yes, they have a White House, but it doesn't have a rose garden) and I saw another vendor and said, "I need your face!" You should try this some time: it's like hypnotism. People are so perplexed by such statements that they have no option but to comply.

This was a commission which I decided to do in colored pencil. The choice of brilliantly colored paper was inspired by the work of artist Olivia: one of her books features several drawings in Prismacolor Pencil on vibrantly colored paper. "HMMM!" said I. I had the paper in the portfolio when my customer and I began the process of creating this drawing, so I pulled it out. I am very satisfied with the result!
