This may sound off topic, but I swear it's not... how hot is Johnny Depp?
Yes I'm obsessed, but I truly think he is an amazing actor. I love all the characters he plays and he plays them so well!
So I got this headless horseman print from Tursi Art... and I, of course, remember how hot Johnny Depp was in that movie.
See... I told you I wasn't off topic!
A beautifully done print by Rose Tursi, she was inspired to read the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and sketch ideas from it after exploring a creepy old graveyard during one of her visits to the area... in the middle of the night... in the dead of winter. EEK!
Rose is an incredibly talented artist who draws inspiration from all over the place. A lot of her style originates from her background in animation. She has watched nearly every animated movie ever made. She also collects childrens' picture books. A lot of her art, 'The Headless Horseman' included, are inspired by mythologies, folk/fairy tales and classics.
Rose has been an artist for what seems like forever. Even as a very small child, she used to get in trouble for doodling all over her school work. Rose loves to draw animals the most of all. She attributes this to a fantastic professor she had in college: Dr. Tina Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt taught 'Animal Life Drawing', but she also had a medical background so she really stressed the importance of understanding the anatomy of the animals we were drawing.
Funny... I have a medical background too. Though mine is the human kind. And while I have you on the medical topic, I encourage you all to come back to my blog in January/February when I will be reviewing another print by Rose... the medical kind.
In the meantime, why not check out Rose's current art on her etsy shop, Tursi Art, because she'd like to give one you a print of your choice up to $10!

I admit it, I'm more of a 3-D art type than a 2-D, so my favorite item is the Turquoise and Inca Gold beaded Necklace with Swirl Focal at http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31446605. But the prints are cool too!
Thanks doing this giveaway,
