Well the name and the picture have two different origins. The name was a name I used to use online in chatrooms years ago. Needless to say I quickly dropped it as a chatting name, but I held onto the name in my mind incase it applied to anything I drew or painted down the road. The concept for the image came about when I was experimenting with drawing the texture of fabrics. What I did was I got a bed sheet and I piled it in a corner on top of a locker, and I kept fluffing up the blanket until it fell naturally into something I found interesting, and this image is what came out. It was spooky how much like a face it looked, but I really enjoyed the whole process, It all just happened very naturally
