Ghost

This is one of my paintings that I did relating to the theme of mortality. The idea that I had was that the girl is between the land of the living and the dead. She is dancing unaware of the figures surrounding her which were actually accidental marks made when the paint seeps through the canvas...quite creepy I thought considering they weren't intended.

Quiet


I was in quite a melancholic mood earlier today and ended up drawing this image as a self portrait, the skulls soon followed. I suppose it's because with some of my work people think I'm obsessed with death, even though I'm not. The image gives a slightly morbid approach to the subject of "Quiet".
