“When he faced them and they smelled no fear they trotted back to the easy pickings on the ground.”

Reba

"She flattened her hand on the thick coat and moved it gently, feeling the fur slide across her palm, with and against the lay, felt the hide slide over the ribs as they rose and fell."

"Her hands on the rhythmic chest, her face up turned, she was filled with the tiger hearts bright thunder." A couple of passages from Thomas Harris RED DRAGON used for inspiration in the illustration process.

The character of Reba is blind and is allowed to touch a sedated tiger behind the scenes at a zoo. The scene was one of my favorites from the book and the movies. I was thrilled when it came time to illustrate the experience. ••••

young Francis Dolarhyde

Chapter 27 Red Dragon

A surreal scene involving a young Francis Dolarhyde standing in the moonlight holding a hatchet.

“He went out the back door and stood in the brilliant night, face upturned, gasping as though he could breathe the light. A tiny disk of the moon, distorted on the whites of his rolled back eyes, “

Will Graham

“He viewed his own mentality as grotesque but useful, like a chair made of antlers. There was nothing he could do about it.” From Chapter 2 of Thomas Harris RED DRAGON.
