The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) mini busts!!! These babies stand about five inches tall and they are gorgeous! Anyone potentially interested in owning one? If there’s enough interest, I’ll produce a limited run of these in 2027. Let me know what you think.

This is a very special insomnia doodle. It started out as another sugar skull that began with the idea of having a heart in the eye. But then it quickly turned into its own thing, more of a free-form doodle built around this idea of a heart. At some point, as my mind was being ravaged by sleep deprivation and insomnia, I realized that what I was doing was drawing my soul. And that’s the name of this particular doodle, SOUL SELF PORTRAIT. There is a very complex story being told within these lines, shapes, and colors…the story of my soul. Maybe I’ll write it all down someday.

It’s difficult to explain my process when it comes to doing these Sugar Skulls. But what I can say is that the process of making this one was very different from all the others. It started out the same, with the exception of the fact that I wanted to give this particular skull a pair of glasses…but something happened very early in the process, and I think it was more than simply insomnia or sleep deprivation. At some point, it became clear to me that what I was making was a self portrait. Yes, this is a self portrait. If anyone wants me to explain the meaning behind all of the shapes and imagery that can be found in this skull, as well as the symbolism and meaning within the colors and the placement of the colors, feel free to ask me if we ever meet in person.

Haven’t worked on one of these in more than six months. Not sure if this one is done or not.
