Depending on the day, I'm not sure how I feel about this spread. The feelings switch from weird to creepy to I just don't know.
On the right side I started out with a handcarved repeating stamp over the entire page. Then I drew the face. I had a couple of samples of two handcarved repeating stamps and tore the papers up and then randomly clued them down on the left side. Added some bubbles with words in them. I think what makes the face a bit weird and creepy is where pattern is positioned on the face. The face looks like Ta moko, which is a facial tattoo worn by Maori (indigenous people from New Zealand). Maybe I need to go with the latter, it makes more sense.
I appreciate today's visit and hope you come again. Until the next blog...enjoy!!
I don't think I would like a steady diet of weird and creepy, but, from time to time, yes, bring it! I guess that's why I like Edgar Allan Poe! I think your color palette is of almost as great an interest as your art. I like this, Carol. I really do!
