Artist's Comments

This is the one I really wanted to do.

Now for a lesson in psychodynamic theory: The Repetition Compulsion is when we do the same thing over and over again in a vicious cycle and whenever we try to make it better, we only make it worse. It is a result of early unresolved childhood issues, and depending on how traumatic the event was, the more so it stifles our behavior. Stemming from the principle, "I long for my mother/ father/ sister/ brother/ etc...and something inside of me is not right" and so you desperately need to relive the situation in order to try to fix it in the hope of feeling something "real". Therefore, I tend to draw/ paint the same subject continuously and Hannibal Lecter eats people.

Watercolor. And I am pleased with how it turned out.

*P.S. I've added the initial sketch with a detailed explanation of my process if anyone was curious about the steps I took in painting it: [link]

ha ha. Your description makes you sound certifiable, but the watercolor is very impressive. It's especially good around the eyes.

A young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively; there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves

Certifiable, aye? A certifiable nut, perhaps?

And thanks--I'm really starting to get into watercolor because it dries so fast and I love speckling paint. That was actually my whole reason for painting this...I saw the picture and went, "oh! I can speckle paint on it to look like blood!!"

Thanks. The scary things is that I don't have patience for anything other than art--I'm quite volatile, but I can work on a painting for hours straight and never get frustrated.

Wow this is amazing for water paint. I really like how you've done the background. However I'm assuming that should be blood on his face, but it looks more like mud. The reddish brown on his ear looks more like blood than the lighter brown on his face. Other than that great work! :D
