Avast, me hearties! It appears we have found a dead man's chest, a real pirate's treasure. Look at all those gold coins. It looks like this treasure may have had a curse put on it by the pirate whose skull that is. But alas, we will never know because dead men tell no tales.

When I saw the curves on this guitar, I immediately thought how closely it resembles a woman's body. I knew right away that I had to somehow bring the two forms together into an image that would convey what I saw in my mind. I used the sensual curves of the female body and blended it in with the curves of the guitar for the final result.

Skee Ball is one of the most popular arcade games. I wanted to give this image a more dramatic look, so I used only one Skee Ball Lane done in black and white to bring out the shadows and light.
