MORDRED

Interior illustration for The Dark Tower 7 by Stephen King

MORDRED (2003), Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Painted for the most part during cold winter nights in Connecticut. I had no trouble visualizing the bitter chill of a frosty snow covered landscape...I just had to step outside for inspiration.

THE LITTLE RED KING SLEEPS, Ink - 9" x 5 ¼"

Stephen King brilliantly described Mordred when he changed into a spider-creature. Parts of his spider-self would begin to manifest when he had trouble controlling his impulses.

ON THE TRAIL OF WHITE DADDY, Ink - 9" x 5 ¼"

I have to confess that scenes of Mordred feasting on victims in The Dark Tower were among the most horrific moments I’d ever read. I devoted several interior illustrations—both full color and black and white—to exploring this truly terrifying character.
