The Open Boat


Here is a self-promo illustration of Stephen Crane's short story: The Open Boat.
Its about a cook, a correspondent, an oiler, and a captain shipwrecked off the coast of Florida. The story is more about a "universe unconcerned with the affairs of humankind"
who will fate let live/die.

Chris- this is the best work I've seen you do. Beautiful execution. My favorite element is the point of view- scenes on the water are a great place to toss out the rules of perspective! You'd better be planning on entering this in the Society of Illustrators NY show!

best,
