This piece is quite unique because it shows the evolution of my artistic style. The colours are not super-accurately applied and they overlap the black outlines in many places. There’s also a dark grey texture applied over the whole artwork.
You see flying geta footwear, a school of fish, a couple of prawns, a teapot and a pair of spectacles. There are also tentacles, pills/capsules, the top half of a crustacean, a piston, a spatula, a jellyfish. A pair of lungs, kidneys and a brain (the brain being an early style of one). For the first time, the heart is depicted having four valves at the top, and there is a ventricle/atrium compartment present. The heart is supporting the security camera. There’s also a weird alien type of being with a single eye.
This was one of my first attempts to group all of these objects together into a single drawing. The objects presented here are not as “connected” as later drawings. But this truly is the beginning of something new for me. There is only one like it.
