Not Quite A Lion

This was a technical experiment, loosely inspired by the collage work of Chris Berens. I did the initial underpainting digitally, printed it out on my snazzy printer, sealed it to board, and proceeded to beat the hell out of it with every medium at my disposal, trying to see what worked. So it's Very Very Mixed Media...inkjet, pastel, acrylic paint, acrylic ink, india ink, color pencil, blended fiber medium, paint pen, watercolor, silk paint, and anything else I had laying on the studio table within arm's reach. The end result is not quite what I had envisioned, but I think it might be going somewhere, if I ever have time to follow the experiment to the end.

It's not quite a lion, but I'm not sure if it knows that.

Anyway! Original for sale, prints available, and you can order those at the snazzy new Red Wombat Studio at [link]
