Strange things surround me regarding my interest in Marilyn Manson and my illustrations of him. For example, on my first portrait of Marilyn, "Minute of Decay", I incorporated a sketch by the 16th century artist/anatomist Andreas Versalius. Despite the fact that there are quite a few sketches like this by that fellow, Manson uses the very same one in his autobiography (The Long Hard Road Out of Hell- page 200), in much the same way: as a backdrop for a gritty, shocking effect to an illustration...
So what, you say? So, I hadn't acquired a copy of Marilyn's book yet, had never seen it, and didn't until a year later. "Minute of Decay" was long finished before I ever laid eyes on his book... I just happened to use the same image...unlikely coincidence...or something. Believe you me though, it freaked me out when I saw page 200.
But it's alright, because, like Manson, odd coincidences are often happening to me, and I tend to take them as signs that things are supposed to happen in a certain way. Which, since Marilyn also mentions this phenomenon himself in his book, is in fact another strange coincidence.
...So you see, I could go on forever about Weird Things That Happen When I Draw Marilyn Manson, but I won't. You're here (hopefully) to look at the results; so please enjoy, and bear in mind that my artwork is traditional (not digital). These are all handmade originals: I usually create my renderings with either acrylic paints or charcoal. More info is available about each piece on their display pages.
