Arachnophilia Page 1

Five or six months ago I was getting the itch to do some artistic project that I had never done before. I eventually settled on the idea of drawing a short comic book story that accompanies a poem.

I don't know thing one about writing poetry, so I found someone else to supply me with the prose. This piece was written by Ms. Jacqueline Beckwith, who is my sister's roommate.

The topic of the piece surrounds the comparison between sexual conquest and a spider capturing its prey in a web. I chose this poem because it easily lends itself to visuals.

I think the first page came out a lot better than all of the other ones. It's been a while since I drew and painted the image above and I find myself still liking how it turned out. This doesn't happen too often for me.
