Description this is another one I slaughtered - remember 1995 was a great summer, the sound of the axe swooshin' through the air as the bees danced with dizzy pollen-heavy legs....

Very creatively done. The colors( especially red) really draw the viewer in. Morbid and grotesque, but very elegant in style. I was wondering if the theme was cannibalism or if the carnivores were not human.

I think the theme (and I'm not sure if it comes out it the image (I can't tell because my monitor's shot and longoverdue for a new one) the guy looking over his shoulder is the spirit of the man on the floor) is looking back on your life as abomination.

I had a great (terrifying) dream of losing all my teeth last night, I was spitting them out. And that's what this image is like. That sense of dread. No going back now.... you know?

"Animal Instincts" is the title of my 2002 oversized fully-illustrated paperback collection. Check out Amazon.com (under the writing name Hertzan Chimera R.I.P.) publisher Double Dragon Press of Canada. But that's old stuff, my new stuff has better structure and emotional content than that, as you've just read.

only recently, twenty years after painting that, having mucked about with the Hertzan Chimera writing persona, have I got back into painting

what a liberation!
