 A follow-up image to Tiger Submarine Story time: After months the skelies finally take the tiger out for a test run as night falls. The lights in the attic are surging as the circuits are checked and blown wires replaced. Who knew the skelies were such capable electricians...

This image is about Thanatos vs. Eros, or Death Instinct vs. Self-preservation which are personified by my skelies. Also the nerves that are anchoring the feet are spilling a type of Morse Code.

From my own perspective, this isn't about suicidal thoughts but more about the curiosity of what death would bring. "morbid ain't it" Death is the final frontier of human exploration.

I love them! Title: Sunkiss This is actually an acetone transfer w/ monotype color. Title: Ties that go ...
