Eugene Kaik on Jan. 19, 2012 at 15:01:35 Artist "The Pyre" is a 3 color double-sided design submited for the "Threadless Loves Death" design challenge. The design was originaly hand-drawn in pen and ink by Eugene Kaik. Digital colors and editing by Sean Brennan (the chupacabra of Threadless). The skull within the design was incorporated as Death, the first of the four figures adorning the slab. The concept of the design was inspired by myth and the commitment to tell a story to the viewer; to draw them into a tale of death, loss, and honor.

Eugene Kaik on Jan. 20, 2012 at 16:05:29 Artist Thanks for the encouraging words.. i wanted more than anything to tell a serious story about death.. the ceremony and honor in funeral pyres.. and the loss and duty of the torchbearer..

FRICKINAWESOME on Jan. 20, 2012 at 18:48:18 Alumni No back design please (or maybe smaller in the center of the back?), but the front has such a sobering and cool mood to it, with the flames highlighting the tangled web of thickets growing fainter and fainter the closer they get to the fallen king's tomb.
