This illustration is one of an ongoing series of images based on psychedelic poster style illustrations and designs. Most of the pieces include an eye as the central design element, and all works have their inspiration in Mayan, Aztec and Egpytian heiroglyphic art. The illustrations revolve around a loose language of design elements including spirals, flames, bone-like structures, engine and machine parts, and usually employ a symmetrical design. This illustration was developed from an earlier sketch which I always thought successful and wanted to expand the design. A rectangular boundary was employed within which to confine the art, right to the edges. The cat-like reclining pose and the hint of a Pharoah's headdress in the design led to the naming of the piece. Teeth-like and other organic elements are offset by more mechanical or machined elements. This illustration was originally drawn and inked on paper, then later scanned and colored in Adobe Illustrator. |
