To keep with the theme of the Halloween season, I thought I’d share a recent bit o’ art that I did.

This death certificate was designed for a website called Master Gracey’s Haunted Mansion. The site owner wanted a fresh, new look, and I had fallen in love with the designs of old documents, certificates, marriage licenses (they are works of art in themselves!). I thought vector graphics would best keep the certificate looking new while I incorporated an engraving technique and a tiny bit of aging. I was really going for the look of old parchments that had been printed long ago, had been safely stashed away in near-mint condition, and have been recently discovered.

You can print out your own certificate (two different versions) over at Master Gracey’s Haunted Mansion.
