Description
A pale skull with a lit cigarette dangling from its teeth dominates this composition, rendered in cream and tan tones against a deep black background. Skeletal bones and fabric are loosely arranged below the skull in an arrangement that feels both casual and haunting, painted with expressive, visible brushwork that gives the memento mori subject an almost intimate quality. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
