An Ice Mummy Of My Very Own

As promised, I painted me a painting inspired by Mr. John Torrington (see last entry for more on him & his amazing face). I've never created a piece of art that actively creeped me out while I was working on it (being in the studio alone? DID NOT HELP), but I love the way he turned out.

Here are some low-quality photobooth shots of the process (all done in one sitting) - he's not quite done, but is pretty darn close!













Now I want to make art inspired by other mummies - I think the Tollund Man is first on the list.

See? Told you I sometimes draw portraits of Frida.

Frida & Friends

One of my heroes - not the best representation of her though. Must try again sometime.


A phrenology head (drawn for something I was designing for my workplace, hence the BPC in the brains).


Moray eel.


Another mandrill.


Puffer fish!
