I called this one "Ghoulmare", a combination of a Ghoul (ghūl - Arabic: literally demon) and a (Night)mare, in an attempt to connect eastern & western culture a bit on the idea of this creature.. There is a poem too, and two versions, one silhouette and one exposed in all its horror, and I wrote a poem to go with it:

If you have nightmares
asleep, awake or inbetween
wondering what will prove
fake, or bring real a dream
a lot being at stake it seems
beware of the tentacles of
creepy crawling mindfiends

Drawn on Strathmore Bristol Plate Surface paper with assorted Pencils B8-B6-B4-B3-H-H2-H3-H4-H8 I think, scanned before fixation for heightened level of detail. It is pretty small on paper, and is on paper mostly, ok maybe also subconsciously, not all the time luckily :)

The sharpness is exactly the feeling it crosses over: inconvenient and unpleasant and that is certainly something to celebrate if you can do that with a drawing.

Mmm.. I had this idea about drawing a head with [anteaters] going around sucking the brain of ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) but I'm not patient with drawing realistic things for now, I might be able to if practicing it but my focus is more on abstract, just an idea I had though with similar thematic, [this drawing from 1986] could be interpreted as a message to myself, but in 2000 I failed to build that robot and kill my ANTs so here I am now having too often had to fight them manually :stupidme: with friends, love & humor it helps though =)
