i think the green skull likes the dead mantis.
2003. 10 x 12ish, acrylic and watercolour on whatever paper I found in the labs, taped together.
simple mantis, playing with the varying textures of whatever various papers I'd taped together. i like the implied composition of the image as cut out by the tape lines. purely incidental.

was also in a phase for distorted skulls... probably came from a few related nightmares I'd been having. interested in the idea of a skull that was more black than white.
