I 'm a day late with this post but all of the Halloween activity in the neighborhood last night reminded me of this image. I created this for an issue of Your Big Backyard Magazine back in the late 90's. It ran in the October issue and illustrated a story about skeletons. I completed two other illustrations for the article that depicted animal skeletons. This one was fun! I bought an anatomically correct skeleton costume and my (then eight yr. old) son served as the model. I actually used a younger reference photo for his face. The background figures came from old family Halloween photos. Minnie Mouse is his oldest sister(strangely younger than him in this reference) and the angel and bunny are cousins.
