A comment by @Spark reminded me that I created this blacklight Haunter mirror art piece.

The Haunter is made from paper and craft foam painted purple and neon pink.

Using a large photo frame from the thrift store, I sprayed some special paint that turned the glass into a mirror. I also spray-painted the picture frame. (In my bathroom. (Because it was too cold. (Those "Gastly" fumes haunt me.)))

Finally, the drool is hot glue squegged across the front.

From time to time I like to challenge myself and do something I’m really not used to and the first page in this sketchbook definitely counts as out of my comfort zone. I had a lot of fun creating it but haven’t done anything like it since and can’t see myself doing any building fronts anytime soon either. 😄
Most of all this page taught me a lot about the layering limits of gouache and coloured pencils.
