Murderous Old Coot

Here are some designs for an illustration I did for an old murder mystery. It was a really great assignment! We were given the mystery, but not the answer. Using whatever clues we could discover in the text we had to figure out who the killer was, his motive and method. Naturally I hit hit the nail on the head...it was Doctor Ionescu, with a jagged knife. What a rotten old meanie.

Another cool thing about the project: the story was set in Romania, one of the few countries I've been to outside of the U.S. It was great doing research, lookin at old photos.
