GETTING READY FOR THE CARNIVAL

graphite on paper - 40 x 30 cm - 2018
this is my tongue-in-cheek spoof of the Norse mythological characters Loki (disguised with a punk mask) and Garmr (the cute pug-hellhound/scull/dildo creature)
The setting: "It's all on the table"

Hey, why not make up your own stories to these images - let me know in the comments how you see this! Anyway, the background to this is that I promised to trade artwork with a artist friend in Serbia, and I wanted not just something from my stack, but created something new -
I just finished this the other day.

Thanks Caroline, I took this with me to Serbia and traded for a very nice painting by a very good Serbian artist.

...Husband coming home after a long hard day at work, hungry and tired, sitting on the table, lips pursed... "Honey, what's for dinner?"
-"Pug-roast, if you have to know! Now, be careful not to mess the table decoration, spent hours to put it right! I've got my eyes on you... ALL OF THEM!"

haha, good one!

Just amazing, I see in the picture a funeral atmosphere for lepers, and by the atmosphere of sadness they look more human. just beautiful

haha - good take on this - idk if you are familiar with the fashion scene in Germany and the Opera Ball in Vienna, but on Facebook I posted this with the comment: "Maybe I was thinking about Harald Glööckler at this years Vienna Opera Ball - sort of a premonition"

This is great :D I love Loki's expression and the gatekeeper trying to decide to let them in or not :D
