Whitney Houston Vigil at Santa Monica Blvd and Wilshire Blvd

I went to see the small vigil at the Beverly Hilton for Whitney Houston tonight. It was so sad to realize that such a talented singer and artist of her calibre died in this way. There were many touching cards and photos in the group. As you can see there were a few news vans and a cluster of people paying their respects and lighting candles. I live 5 minutes down the road, so I felt compelled to see how fans were coping and leaving their kind regards.

Image for Gristle

My friend Sean Steppanoff has been putting together his new issue of "Gristle" and I'm one of the artists in that one. It's an issue about Death. So here's the image I came up with for it. I thought I would just do a montage of symbols and little flashes of things that make me think of Death. I think I'll make a postcard image out of this one.
