I have dropped this artwork, three bloody, motherf**king time. SERIOUSLY! It was smashed and broken beyond repair (well, almost). But, I was the little train that could; and I just kept going. Bot proud of my self for persevering, because it was a close one, let me tell you! 😑
Guess where I sourced the wax foe these casts? My son’s cheese wheels. Yes, you heard right; I melted down the wax that Babybel cheese comes in!
Annnnd…that’s why artists should NEVER throw out possible resources! 
There is nothing in this world more perfectly matched then skulls and vintage lace…
I really struggled to draw the individual rain drops: a) my hands have the steadiness of a 93 year old man, b)I just couldn’t get my drawing implement sharp enough, c) and then d) and then, and then and oh yeah, that too…
So, after many a frustrated battle, I had an epiphany, I would fake the rain; so I cheated and melted wax into rivulets to emulate painted raindrops (very postmodern, layer, upon layer, upon layer!)
