Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). With this piece I drew the entire portrait to start and then, with very small blade, I cut the entire board into little squares. The back ground was a piece of cake in comparison, one sheet of water color paper soaked with water so that the water colors applied would look free form. I'm still working out where to add the hands in this piece. Essentially the hands will be trying to fix the squares which are of different sizes, and attempt to put them back in place.

Concentration #11
Hallucinations are extremely common in many peoples lives. You may hear a phone ring or see a shadow move in the corner of your eye, but these hallucinations can be due to stress. On the hand sometimes people report vivid perceptions of voices, sights, sounds, and smells that only they can perceive. I used extremely watered down acrylic paint and let it free form on the matt board. After it dried I used some special pens to create the face and then combined multiple structures to transition the face into the hallucination.
