214 - STONE HEAD - INK - 2007
When I was in Wrexham (North Wales) recently, I spotted a stone head on the lawn near the library. It was decorated with mosaic. As I try not to plagiarise, I decided to draw the outline of the head and then draw it as though it was built with stones, sort of dry-wall style. This is quite popular, so I have uploaded a better scan and I am now offering this for sale as cards.
214 - STONE HEAD - INK - 2007 belongs to the following groups:
Altered by Design, Happy Haven, I ♥ Patterns, Pencil Drawing, Rocks and Bones, Safe Haven and SurrealismAvailable for sale as Cards

Psychedellic stuf, Dave. It moves and crawls into my brain. The highlights on the stones make the mask so vivid. Love the great white spot in the middle. The pattern on the ground is absolutely mind blowing.

With so many on my watchlist, i almost missed this one Dave. You’ve a very inventive mind and always manage to produce thought-provoking art. This looks very much a mix of humour and threat, but then I always feel there is a message in your work which is as much it’s attraction as the skilled drawing. Sorry to be long-winded.

The actual sculpture is modern, but I adapted it to make it look ancient.

Magnificent Dave, love this, such wondrous detail, such a great face in stone
Andy Mercer, 3 months ago
I still like this one Dave.. why don’t you approach the Henry Moore Scultptur eTrust to see if they will fund a 30ft sculptural version ?
Of course you probably won’t fit the criteria.. being as how you are over a certain age and all.. So they will probably say.. bla.. di.. bla..di.. bla..di… bla..di.. bla.. bla.. no.. but if you don’t try you will never know.
I wonder if Andy Goldsworthy or Antony Gormley would be interested in supporting it ?
BLYTHART in reply to Andy Mercer’s comment, 3 months ago
You are very kind Andy, but in all fairness, I have made no secret of the fact I based this on a photo I took of a sculpture in Wrexham.. I would like to think I had altered my version enough for it not to be a direct copy though.

So great artwork …
Thanks again for your visit.
Have a good weekend!

Cool. It kinda pops out more when seen from afar.
John R.P. Nyaid, 3 months ago
Lovely details! It somehow reminds me of those Easter Island statues.
BLYTHART in reply to John R.P. Nyaid’s comment, 3 months ago
I became aware of that as i was drawing it. It’s of a Welsh sculpture actually, well based on it anyway.
avalyn, 2 months ago
Terrific drawing! I have to admit I had a surreal moment thinking I saw Homer Simpson looking at me. All your drawings have such a great extension into other realities. Good work.
