Artist's Comments

ognik, ignis fatuus (will-o'-wisp) - in Slavonic folklore (and some other cultures) a strange light that attracts travellers from the paths and make them lost their way. It was a demon living in marshes or other dark places (rarely on fields).


Black ink, dip pen, yellowish paper a4.

edit: Ok, I have my scanner back. So now it's in better quality, I hope.

By the way, "ognik" means "hinkypunk" or something smillar to this.
