Lon Chaney in London After Midnight
(ink&pen on velum paper)
This was commission work for a pal’s father who is a horror movie enthusiast.
I picked the subject matter as a tribute of sorts to the masterful use of make-up effects that Mr. Lon Chaney was known for. Tragedy struck in 1967 when the MGM film vault#7 had an electrical fire which destroyed the last known print of the iconic film London After Midnight, along with many other Silent Era films.
