Title: SKULL AND THREE ROSES Size: 8”X10”(image)/ 8.5”X11”(overall) Media: Colored pencil and acrylic ink on 100# Bristol vellum Date of completion: Fall 2004 Class/description: Original artwork/drawing (unframed) Publishing notes: Unpublished (no portfolio copies were made, one of a kind!) Notes: Michael R. Everett created this artwork as a respectful nod to the roots of the iconography that inspired him to be a poster artist. The application of a skull and roses to this graphic composition was a result of feedback from collectors who wanted to see more of the bold imagery that has appeared in several of his 2004 artworks. Michael endeavored to create a striking design, a challenge for an artist known for subtlety. This artwork has a smooth finish and soft textures considering its traditional drawing media, an additional reference to the styles that have brought him inspiration. Signed in black ink, “2004 M.Everett”.
