One thing is for certain, I love art, and whenever I get the chance to, I have to incorporate my love for either music, hearses or cats into them. In this particular case, it's music.
This lovely lady is Siouxsie Sioux, the singer for Siouxsie And The Banshees, and The Creatures. I painted her about a year or two ago when I was still in high school and had free range of expensive art equipment. Our project was to make a type of tray or platter. I'll be the first to tell you I didn't know where I was going with this, all that was for certain is that this tray would have Siouxsie on it.
At some point, I put on spiked handles, which even though at the time I knew it was a bad idea (how the heck are you supposed to carry that thing!?) honestly, I love how they look, and its much easier to carry then I originally thought it would be.
At the last minute I realized it was kiln loading day and I hadn't put any design around the edges. I could have waited until next week, but as impatient as I can be, I would rather risk ruining something by quickly throwing it together at the last minute, then wait. I wanted the Eye of Horus, but couldn't remember in my mind exactly how it was, so an abstract eye shape became the corners, and badly done barbed wire became the edges. Though I'm still a bit angry with myself for not being patient enough to wait a week, I love how it came out.
