Meanwhile, the Eye sees nothing, not even inwardly. Realizing, somewhere, he is sinking fast, looking for any form that is not the sleeping demon. The air is charnel where piles of serpents are set on fire. Great pyres silhouette around the circumference of the tower in which the tomb is ensconced. Further under the earth where vile sorcerers, undead, feed off their lord’s curse; diseased immortals, anticipating the resurrection. With worms in their skulls lapping at the fulgent resonance of black mysticism. He does not linger long, weaving through a parade of lost races, empty reliquaries and aborted myths. He could see the entire pantheon of a thousand midnights recording manic emanations with alchemic suffusion. It doesn't matter if he can heal or see if only he is able to transfer the image – the form.

Dark Scratchboard Art from Patrick Arrasmith
All work on this site is done in the medium of scratchboard. Scratchboard is a thin layer of white clay, machine-applied to a base of illustration board. The clay is coated with black ink. A blade not unlike a scalpel is used to scratch off lines of the black ink, revealing the white surface below. All color in the illustration is applied on a computer.
