Artist's Comments

Bone Joker Flower Choker 2006
Inks, pens, watercolors on heavy paper.



This was originally a commission for a friend who ended up not wanting to buy it. I grew attached to it and all the stories i'd written for it in my spare time on trains and what not.
But overall this piece is a favorite of mine because of its contrasting colours and composition. I'm also very fond of those wing like smoky flames that flow from the creature torso, the texture harmonizes with the heat of the landscape.


A ball of white chalky life. A yellow skirt. A halo of thorns and horns. A white crown. An infected hand. A burning heart and a pair of deep, hollowed fire-lit eye-sockets.

the aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. -henry miller

The complementary color scheme works really well. My favorite part happens to be the blank space in the middle to upper left. It gives it a feeling of emptiness (as if the skeletal figure already didn't)
