Attacked Before Bed
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
I was going to go to sleep when 2 small dog-like creatures started attacking my arms, in what I first thought was a playful manner. They latched themselves onto my forearms. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't bleeding. I noticed one of the creatures had started dripping blood from its mouth. Its face and skull were intact with its body shrunken, squeezed. I start to remove it from my arm and blood starts to fill the room. I go to the bathroom, I’m concerned about it flooding through the ceiling. The blood was solid slightly milky.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
