Horizontal triptych

After cutting up some older paintings I decided to start on some new work. I loved the look of the figure in "Angel of Judgement" so I want to carry that style into the figures in this painting. The 'ghost' figures have become my constant motif, so why not throw them into this work as well?

As per usual I started by laying down some newspaper on board, the ripped it off. This leaves fragments behind which create texture in the background of the canvas. Then I attacked the boards with spray paint to tie all three boards together. I sketched out the underlying structure of the painting in marker. The last thing I did today was put a wash of grey over the 'ghost' figures.

Layers

Added more layers to my new ghost painting.

Above. I added some spray paint and started repainting the skull.

Inktober monkeys

Started drawing a monkey.

Ended up making a short story about monkeys learning to fly.

Self identity

Did some painting. This one resembles how our phones have become so ingrained into our lives that they become reflections of ourselves. In some cars they are extremities of the self.
