This is a character design I developed for a vampire story I was working on in the early 90's.  He was supposed to a druid type, a defender of the "world tree", and a shape changer.  At that time, I was very influenced by the Image comics style, thus the eye tattoo.  I cringe looking at this now, but I'm sure I'll cringe looking back at some of the work I'm doing now.  In the end, It's all just history.

An original rough and an edited tighter sketch.  I don't remember the exact time frames on these, but they were placed in my sketchbook amongst other pieces from 1993-1995.  The early years, as it were.  No direct connection to the work of Allen Ginsberg, but I believe the sentiment is the similar.
