Description
A4Bic ball point pen on paper.
The idea was to create a spiral by having the bottom right hand corner replicated in the top left.
Done on the fly with no real planning.

Thanks. Ballpoint is easier to work with than you might think. You just need to remember that every mistake is a new addition.

Damn, that's fucking awesome and creepy. It kind of reminds me of the pictures I've seen of open Holocaust mass graves and Dali's Cannibalism in autumn painting. Very nice work--I like the texture and especially admire how you did this spontaneously.

Thankyou deeply for taking the time to comment and including my pic in your favorites. I don't know about holocaust mass graves but Dali is deffinately one source of inspiration for me (and I guess every other surrealist on the planet).

very giger-esque, but it still has your own unique style to it - looks wicked man

holy crap.
talk about surreal.
this kind of reminds me of giger.
have you seen giger's work?
this is a lot less sexual. but still...
this is fucking awesome.
i love the chaos it provokes.

Thanks again.
Yes pseuDOVAgrant I am familiar with gigers work (I think in this piece it's damn obvious I know his work ) However, it is a lot less sexual. I prefer to deal with feelings of isolation, lonliness and the chaos that rouses itself in the mind as a result of these feelings. This piece, to me, is more about the person in the glass sphere; as the chaos spirals around them, they can only watch.
Its funny how everyones supprised its in pen; Isn't this what pens are made for?
Thanks again everyone for the praise.

The texture of this seems photographic, like you have captured a strange and tormented being that shouldn't have existed! The results of radiation on the fetus!
This is absolutely amazing!
