For the life and death illustration, I can honestly say I wasn't content with the lack of creativity. I thought that a match lit and then blown out was pretty typical. However after speaking to Rusty, I think I found myself satisfied with not having these typical images illustrated with typical elements. I like what can inferred from the flame having so many colors and casting such wild shadows in the background. And I really love that the no-longer-lit match still has glowing embers and the smoke is thick and very visually dominating. This medium is a mix of water color and gouache. And just a pat on the back to myself, I did the printing process all by self, cross your fingers it prints well.
