Meet Alfred Alexander the Third, the protagonist of my upcoming book series, “Village Vultures”. Al is a mortician viewing embalming as an art form. With his heart set on unlocking the ability to care for the dead, body and soul, he seeks to earn a position working for Death itself. #writing #art

Introducing the “Village Vultures” book project, an upcoming two-part book series. To put it simply, this is a not-so-serious story about death and the people that dedicate themselves to its work written and illustrated by me, Ray Chel.
