Artist's Comments
In the realm of archetypes and symbolism, masks are typically associated with deceit, hidden motives, and the concealment of the true "self." Oftentimes, it takes a person who is honest and unafraid of their inner self to look at a mask without feeling some amount of discomfort.
Needless to say, masks creep me right the hell out. I would like to say that everything in this painting is deeply symbolic, but it's not. I just wanted to draw a rat in a shyguy mask. He's been sitting around, unfinished, in my sketchbook for almost six months, and I decided that it was finally time to paint him. He wants to sell you a gris-gris. Would you feel comfortable buying anything from this guy? Medium: Gouache and some photoshop work. The original is in black and white. Long story short, I didn't want to ruin it, so I digitally added in some of the red. Sorry, purists. Artwork is © *MoonsongWolf Daily DeviationGiven 2009-03-02Gris-gris by *MoonsongWolf is an intriguing piece both in concept and technique. The colors work wonderfully together here, with that rich red cape and those lovely muted browns used in the background. Definitely a standout piece in their gallery! (Featured by ^savagebinn) |
