Undead! Undead! Undead!
Reiko Murakami
This one is for Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead". I immediately fell in love with this song when I listened to it the first time on the playlist. This song felt right up in my alley and I just needed to make some art with it. There are few technical things I wanted to experiment in this piece (nice thing about MOF, I can take risks comfortably in projects like this). The coffin shape composition made by masking is one of them. I wasn't sure if the usual tracing paper technique holds or not, but the layering seemed to survive just fine. Oh, and around his face is the gold tinted acrylic I tried on last week's piece. He radiates as you walk by it. --------------------------------------
