Skull-Faced Boy Fan Art on deviantArt

December 16, 2009 by David Barr Kirtley 1 Comment

I just discovered these two images over on deviantArt that were inspired by my short story “The Skull-Faced Boy.”

The skull-faced boy by blazeblackwing     The skull-faced boy by DarkAlley001

Blazeblackwing, creator of the first one, writes, “Hi. I was told that you were on here by a friend. He saw that I had drawn a pic titled ‘skull faced boy’ and said to see what you think of it. I first read it in a zombie collection of stories and loved reading it! I didn’t draw the skull-faced boy in the way I hoped you saw him, but in the way my own interpretation of him was.”

DarkAlley001, creator of the second image, says, “Recently I’ve become a maniac about podcasts — can you blame a person when the news is so depressing? One of these would be Pseudopod, an amazing source of horror/suspense/thriller short stories. I’ve been thinking of creating something for these stories for awhile, and with Halloween just around the corner, I feel inspired.”

And, if you missed it, also check out Jandan’s skull-faced boy art. I also have a deviantArt profile.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
