“Haint” (July 17, 2018)
My latest sketch, I call it “Haint”. I am beginning to create a bunch of these drawings. I was thinking about what they all have in common. I have already posted the metronome, the Salt girl, and the flying scotch bottle. I have about 5 so far and was thinking about labeling them surreal symbolism.
