Funny how this floppy, dusty top hat floats around my imagination. Perhaps part of me is still stuck in the 1800s. With all the anxiety revolving around Covid 19 (This image drawn on March 16th, 2020), my mind must be looking for connections to make some sense of it all. The only conclusion I can … Continue reading Once, When I Found This Cool Hat – The Hollow Ones #26
What If We're The Aliens? – The Hollow Ones #26
I intended something else for this, but the black pastel took over and changed the shape of the head... it suddenly looked alien, instead of human. Then I started to question if all my heads looked alien. This wasn't so much self-doubt as it was fascination. I have a belief that we often draw from … Continue reading What If We're The Aliens? – The Hollow Ones #26
Temptation – The Hollow Ones #24
Here she is again, only sometime further in her career... career in what? I don't know. My imagination says she's some sort of spy, a female James Bond type. In control of her decisions, but not free of her emotions... just like him. Here she is the temptress in her cool dress, in a space … Continue reading Temptation – The Hollow Ones #24
Dangerous Elegance – The Hollow Ones #23

Is she confident or scared? Is she a predator or victim? What does this reflect from my … Continue reading Dangerous Elegance – The Hollow Ones #23

Hellish Night
I returned at sunset to see what colours might have changed on previous images. The gargoyle looked different. There were more colours on the surface of the stone, but it was the glow of the sky that changed the whole mood of the picture. I cropped the image more to the right to highlight the … Continue reading Hellish Night
