Artist's Comments

Another from the series 'Corpus, Mentis et Animus' I shot in 2003.

This was the idea that started the series in my fractured little mind. The pose came from Aubrey Beardsley [one of my fav artists] and his illustrations for Oscar Wilde's 'Salome'.

Thanks go to Francis and Bacon, your legend lives on :floating:

Comments, thoughts and criticisms are always welcome.
And my apologies to all the deviant vegetarians who might be offended by this. I'm not well :aww:

You leave your wombat out of this.
Yes, a different version was in Entropy. THAT was the original and there was only ever one print made of it, care of Mr B, and that has since disappeared, along with the negative :O_o: Clearly it was never meant to exist!
So I'm resorting to this version instead which was the backup and second of 5 shots from this session. Ce la vie.

Thankyou! :hug:
I am starting to consider tinkering with B&W again so I may continue this series, after 3 years of actively avoiding it :D

:hug: it can be scary destroying all the colour information, but sometimes the simplicity of b&w is a lot more powerful, hard to decide between them at times

Actually this is one of a pair that I got from a butcher down in Tranmere.
He thought I was going to use them for soup :bleh:
Imagine his face when I corrected him ;)

[I think this one was Bacon - Francis was a bit smaller and more girlish]
