Crackle Crackle
These were made with some chemicals that I'm sure are toxic and will stunt my swimmers or soemthing like that. First I did a drawing in ink on 140lb. watercolor paper, then watercolor it in. After that there is a two step aging and cracking varnish chemical dump. Smear a dark oil paint over the whole piece and then wipe it off, in order to fill the cracks with value. Finally some touch up with acrylic or gouache on top. It is a neat effect but I found that the cracks sometimes got in the way of the drawing. Still these two came out somewhat charming.

Masterful. Simply masterful.
But, alas, is the pig on fence?

Thanks for all the love. Natalie, I was actually going for cute with these farm animals. Sometimes it helps to not be so goth all the time. Why do you have to forever pigeon-hole me as a Goth? And Jeanette, the pig is digging his face in his delicious slop in a trough. The perspective is off, so I can see why it might be confusing.
Mr. Justin, call me so that we can negotiate a price. I am willing to sell for $25,000.00 at the least.
