Artist's Comments

I was inspired to do this pic when watching the LXG dvd one day. Then, I got it into my head to make this piece a bit more... unconventional. This piece truely is mixed media. Media: ink, watercolour, blood.

Very lovely, the red against the white has a horror film look. Love those eyes.

My own blood is the most common pigment I use next to my traditional watercolours. This one took about a teaspoon of blood. The bloody parts include: the right eye (the hair coming down over it too), lips, teeth, left eye and nose. I used only 4 pigments: black ink, red ink, yellow ochre, and blood. The red ink unfortunately didn't get the expected results (its the pink looking colour), so I went with blood for the true blood colour. The bad thing about using blood (other than you have to find a way to get it) is that it discolours to a yucky brown. I had to scan it rather quickly to get that rich redness.
