ATC Jack Sparrow

Back to Jack.

 If you've seen the second film in the Pirates of the Carribean series, you'll be familiar with these images.
Jack makes his escape from a prison colony in a coffin with its skeletal occupant. A crow taps repeatedly on the coffin lid...all is quiet except for the tapping...


  ...and then Jack's pistol fires. Result, nothing but feathers.


These were made from water soluble blue ink pads wiped across the surface, the sky part washed over with a wet paintbrush immediately after, then detail added in black in with a dip pen. Being ATCs, they are the size of a playing card.

The trouble with ATCs is that part of the aim is trading...but I just can't!
