Bogyphobia- Fear of Bogeymen!AND......
Opthalmophobia- Fear of opening one's eyes!Artists Notes: These pieces are both inspired by my last trip to Disney World. I found this beautiful statue (bottom)in a hide away corner in Epcot in one of the countries while chasing a lizard. The piece is done pen and ink and took many hours to complete. Unfortunately my carpel tunnel pain is now affecting my work...there are a few abnormal dots in my stippling. Surgery is slated for January.
The top piece was a statue discovered on my way to a Luau. It is done in pencil, then inked over and colored with Crayola colored pencils!! Thanks for looking and as always...double click for detail!Most of the people in the world have a fear of one kind or another. While most people suffer from pathophobia (fear of disease), monophobia (fear of being alone), glossophobia (fear of public speaking), algophobia (fear of pain), taphephobia (fear of being buried alive), and many more, there are also some less popular phobias. At the end of this essay, there is a compiled a list of the phobias that you will find amusing...go to ISalvo to read more about phobias!

great work!
both pieces are great. thanks for sharing your process. I always love to know what media was used. who knew there were so many crazy phobias!
I like your boogeyman. He's funny and not too scary. Sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel. Hope the surgery does the trick.
You are very prolific to always have two for each topic! The top one made me laugh -- plus it's very well done.
I like this boogeyman...he has freaky teeth, this is very nice!!

Ellen, Great peices! Love the link too, thank you. I think you did a great job on the stippling. Nice coloring job on the top one too!
The top piece is really fun and different! And the bottom piece is gorgeous~ it really looks like an ancient relic. Hope your surgery goes well...sorry to hear that you're having difficulty.

These are absolutely amazing--how did I miss these? It makes me so sad to find out when people like yourself--artists and musicians with so much talent, get carpal tunnel. Best wishes on your surgery!
