Description Gouache on card stock, 8.5 X 11"
Status: NFS

I did this one back in 1993 - It's a painting of a mummified corpse. I was intrigued by the position and the "scream" effect. We still pull it out and post it on the door on Hallowe'en.

It's funny: I had a whole series of these once upon a time. Not sure where they are now, this is the only one I kept. I tortured my poor roommates for years with them. They'd come home and surprise! A new corpse painting! More death! Yay! They weren't depressed, I probably was, and I suspect they really wanted me to do something brighter and lighter, given their recommendations of how I should probably get some fresh air, sunshine and perhaps take some B-complex vitamins.

The colors - they are amazing. You really captured something dark here. Like the person a few comments below said - "I see agony and despair." - Well said.

Dear Laurazee.

We are an german nonprofit independent youth-magazin called weiß auf schwarz (www.weissaufschwarz.com) We are working on an article about people working with corpses as police- and medicineman.
Our articles are illustrated by painters all over europe. We want to ask you: Would you give us - by full credit with name and homepage - your picture for our article? It would be an honor and we would pay for, but we are nonprofit.

Best wishes.

Ha! I am dying to know why you would want to find a mummified corpse when you got home. Nasty roommate? Despised sibling or other relative? I am curious and frightened. But thank you! This one has always been one of my favorites

I have often thought that it would be nice to be stuffed and mounted...You know, taken to the Taxidermist and displayed in a lifelike pose, after death of course. The Relatives could take turns having me at their house. They could use me as a coatrack. Strap me to the ski-rack and drive around town...or not. Good Work I like cheerful stuff more, but still have morbid humour. Stay Happy.

Ah there's nothing like a lil macabre and horror to liven things up a bit.
I like the rough and free brushstrokes - they really add to the intense scream.
