Jennet Device

I recently watched a documentary called The Pendle Witch Child about A 9 year old girl who testified against her whole family in a witchcraft trial in 1612.
Read her story here

I was so inspired by this story and the fact this young child condemned and most probably watched her own mother and family members hang.
Jennet eventually ended up on trial for witchcraft herself years later.
Here is my interpretation of her.

Another great birthday present

Some people just know me so well, that when they go into an abandoned house, where the previous occupant commited suicide and have a root around, they immediately think of me upon finding, a very disturbing, flaking, dirty painting of a baby, that they bring it home and give it to me for my birthday! My brother is pretty cool.
I think I'm going to be able to get some pretty sick textures from this one for some art work, really excited
This present beats a pair of socks or a candle any day!

texas children

thought i'd already posted this, but i can't see it, so i'll do it now, my painting, Texas children, partly inspired by the film 'days of heaven' and the amazing farm house in that, and the childrens costumes came from old american daguerrotypes with abit of artistic licence, ink and gouach

my painting of lady deadlocks last moments, from Bleak House, the most wonderful story, i did this as a present for a friend, its done in ink and gouach
