I guess this occurred on night ironically in the month that I almost always gain inspiration in, October, when listening to Type O Negative's song Black No. 1 and 69 Eyes song Forever More. I had my sketch book open, and I was thinking of David Bowie, even though I never really listened to his music, he was a big inspiration to rock musician Marilyn Manson in which some of his songs where covered in his Mechanical Animals Album.
At first I asked a friend about this painting and of course he suggested adding another ear so it wouldn't look like van gogh. I did add another ear, but I felt this picture of the painting looked better. Because I didn't have any black paint, I improvised and use black lipstick, since makeup is usually made with the same acyclic as paint.

People often say that artists will go through stages in their lives, in which they often create a series of art pieces that are related to a certain subject. (Pablo Picasso and his "blue period"). I have yet to really experience a certain phase other then this, in which I have created a series of "Fan Art". (Fan art relating to games, movies, or musicians). Starting with Marilyn Manson, a controversial rock group/rockstar of the 90's, all the way to World of Warcraft, and currently, Freddie Mercury, The lead singer of Queen until his death in 1991.
It is safe to say, for now, The Fan Art Continues...
