I chose agriozoophilia for the theme of this painting; the obsessive love of wild animals, which is definitely something I have!

I was also inspired by Valentine's Day, love, jealously, hatred, confusion; really all the mixed emotions that this holiday can stir up.  

The animals are all experiencing different emotional states within or without relationships, and the title is both literal and figurative.

The show boasts yet another amazing lineup, including Buddy Nestor, Heather Gargon, Dan Harding, Caity Hackett, Jackie Gallagher, Jasmine Worth, Michal Brodka, Mike Wohlberg, Suzanne Falk, Zoe Williams and many more, including myself.

Here's my new painting for the "Carnival of Terror" show this Saturday at Gristle Tattoo and Art Gallery in Brooklyn.

There is a vulture, horned owl and albino raven perched atop a conjoined goat skull.  The scythe blades are silver leaf, which I really love.  This is only my second time using leaf, and the first time using silver leaf, specifically.  I'm sure it won't be the last though, I love it!

The info for the show is here on the card, the artist list is amazing!
