The series is being printed by Broken Press in Seattle. The silkscreen prints will be available at the ISIS show on June 24th at the Henry Fonda Theater in L.A. They will soon be available through Broken Press, and directly from me through my store or at upcoming conventions. My poster for Wolves in the Throne Room is also available from Broken Press, and direct from me soon.
I'm very proud to do some artwork for ISIS and to be a part of this series alongside some really great artists.

"The Triumph of Death"
And "Fall of the Rebel Angels"
"The Triumph of Death" or "Dance of Death" was a common theme throughout Art history. Here's a few others.

Geoffrey Tory:
Italian fresco attributed to Buonamico Buffalmalco or Francesco Traini:
