Disclaimer: just had to get this piece done. I can’t promise you I’ll be updating quite this often all the time so don’t yell at me later!

If you would like to purchase an 8.5×11 print of The Centipede please email me – they’re $19.99 and I’m offering them on individual basis only, for now. Check out my store for more prints!

The Centipede, ink+digital

Here she is, finished. Really looking forward to seeing this printed and framed for the show, as I have some ideas for the frame, you see. This is a step away from my chesty space cadets of recent times, and I’m perfectly alright with that. This thing here is inspired in part by Cronenberg’s adaptation of Naked Lunch and took about 6 – 8 hours from start to finish. I’m not entirely sure because I tend to lose time when I dive into a drawing like this. To the fist-shakers in the corner – not to worry, I doubt I’ll ever abandon space and chests entirely!

Any chance that you’ll do a print run of that?

I’ve got an empty space on the wall above my computer that needs a mascara streaked woman clutching a centipede wrap.

Great piece there are so many great subtle details that really make it unique. Her boa, the light coming through window blinds.. This would also make a great t-shirt print!

I absolutely adore the hair and the lighting effects from the blinds.

Is the centipede representative of LA?

Zachary – emailed you!

Essy, Nicole and Hoygeit – thank you! It does actually look great printed, but I can;t picture the type of person who’d wear it on a T-shirt. I think I might do a postcard run or something like that, instead.

Evelyn, between the starlet, the fact that I tried to make this feel like a film still and the mix of pain and pleasure – it’s all pretty LA as far as I’m concerned.
