spring lamb

You're looking at four different photos of one skull of a newborn baby. Starting in the lower left and going clockwise: front view, back view (tipped to the left), side view, top view. The minerals in the orbits are chalcopyrite and diabolite. With markers and acrylic paint.

I think newborns are fascinating, especially their heads. I used to be a nurse in a newborn nursery—most entertaining job I ever had.

'The Isle of Skull'

Hi guys, just spend a week's holiday on this tropical location in the sun and feel like reborn again!

Tattoo Two

Another version of the tattooed skull painting/collage.  Again most of the snippings came from old Mechanix Illustrated from the 50's.

Dreaming of Ice

I cut the image of the charming couple from a 1950s "Seventeen" magazine.  Cannot remember the theme of the ad (obviously love related).  I put the box with a diamond (urban slang for diamond is "ice") ring in between them (it also works to hide copy of the original ad).  I pasted the skull & crossbones POISON sign on the jar of Indian Ink.  The male hand holding an ice cube is from a weird painting found in a book of German paintings I purchased at a house sale.

Death called, I told him you weren't home.
