He is gorgeous (Rue Morgue), full of character, I would not doubt you if you said he had a wicked sense of humor. Is he married?

This looks like it was done in oil. Very stimulating. I keep wanting to see into the eyes. I just wonder how big you paint?

There seems to be the suggestion of a cemetery on the top of the skull... really an extraordinary imaginative and beautifully frightening work.

I have always loved your strokes and colours - this piece is a prime example of the chaos and the fluid working so well together in your art.

What i also love in this piece are the little details:

>how his head sits slightly forward from his hunched shoulders, with that definitive curve to the throat - it's so simply rendered, but it isn't simply a straight line... attention has been given to this posture.

>the branches on his scalp, almost overlooked by the skeleton intensity of him, or those arresting red wings.

>the use of black as an underlay to the colour... i love the way you do this, so that both the colours are very stark by contrast, and they are defined by it, like a leadlight window. This technique that appears in so many of your oils and pastels is one i adopted when i paint my puppets - i almost always begin with an undercoat of black before i roughly sponge on the colours.

I use that same painting trick in my sfx makeup applications, a lot, too. Again, inspired by how you paint. In fact, early last year i began reproducing the Death With Red Wings as a makeup piece, just for fun. I wanted to see it come to life, with all the twisted details in the flesh and the bold mixed colours across his skull. I only got as far as the skull mask, so i think i should revisit it again soon and complete it ^_^

I remember buying that issue way back just because I saw your work on the cover!

I've come to rely on your superb use of colors. Once again, I love your backgrounds as well.
