Looking back, I think this may be an indirect portrait of someone unpleasant I was working with at the time. Anger and Sharpies - cheaper than therapy I guess.

The Prodigy
Omen
Invaders Must Die

UPDATE:
Wow. Initially I didn't there was much change between these two, but looking at them side by side I can a severe blur and glare within the original. The scan turned all the colors up a notch or two as well. I cannot say it enough - Hooray for scanner! Hmmmm...my scanner needs a name...I'll get on that. :-)

This is going to sound cliched but this reminds me of my late mother-in-law LOL. Seriously though, I love the content and the fast, expressive lines! The energy bursting from the top of the head also resonates with me.
ReplyDeleteI tend toward the emotionally empathic end of things and when this person showed up in my work place it was like someone had suddenly built a toxic waste dump next door to my house. I was drawing out of self preservation. LOL. No judgement here on the mother-in-law cliche. The expressive stuff on this one is kind of a throwback to some of my other abstract pieces. I can't remember if the sketch started with the expressive stuff or the face part.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it now I am thinking this could easily become a really cool Super Villain/Villainess. Harnessing negative emotion into a violent colorful force. Thus the pale white skin. Hmmmmm...I might have to do something with that. This all reminds me, I need to replenish my Sharpie set. My colors are getting low. I occassionally have to get one of those mega packs otherwise I begin to shake and have delirium tremens.
