Vision of a Nightmare

This graphic art works was created for the Critter Shed, a grass route zine distributed from the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool. There artists call asked for submissions around the theme of Nightmares.

The outline of a male face has been created, the features of the face have been blurred out, they can no longer be seen. We can identify a square jaw and a matching short cropped hair cut immediately when our eyes glance over the image. The concept of the lobster is introduced in the area where the facial features are missing, the claws extending to the top of the head representing devil horns. Beneath the lobster we can see wrapping layers of newspaper, implying some kind of coast town food take-away. The barely visible headlines shown on the newspapers give accounts of various sex attacks. The grit-like texture worked through the transparencies of the layers adds to the distress of the image.
