“Heavy is the Head,” is the WIP on my easel right now. It started as a doodle. I wasn’t thinking about anything beyond the basic idea that severed heads are cool and I should draw more of them. Then something happened… During the Spiritualism Movement, some mediums used automatic writing to communicate with the dead. In my case, the zen of sketching puts me in contact with dead memories, emotions long buried and symbols that resonate. Slowly that channeling process brings something to life. This sketch has been transferred over to wood panel. I’m currently building the first few layers in acrylic. I’ll post an update during “The Ugly Phase,” in the next day or so.
