Happy Halloween season! Here's another stab at my own take of Carrie White, based on her book description. I'm super happy with how these turned out! I'd love to tackle some of the other characters in the book eventually, especially Margaret!
EDIT:
Now available as an art print here!

We all float down here. You'll float too. You'll float too!
I won't, I sink in any water, I have no bodily buoyancy whatsoever like my father before me who sank on his own tropical honeymoon and had to be hauled to the surface by my mother.
Unrelated I just read Stephen King's "Carrie" and might try "It" next.
