I Had A (Crazy) Dream

I had this really strange dream last night, and this was the result. Don't ask me what it means. Very spooky and a bit surreal, but I do like the upside down faces. It may have had something to do with a sci-fi story I had been reading, with an alien in it, as well as the fact I had been drawing dragonflies for another artistic work in progress. I think theres a little Langelaan (The Fly) and Kafka influence in there as well. I think I'm evolving and transforming as an artist, and maybe that's being highlighted in this piece of work? On reflection, I think I'm going to name it Metamorphosis.

Haiku Poem For Halloween (aka Samhain)


PUMPKIN HEAD


Guide this trickster with

hollowed grin and dancing lights,

through the night of dead.
