She Skull by the sea shore

Just finished this for the Skull show this weekend.

Downright revisited

Nice little write up in Whitehot magazine about Jashar and the 'Downright' show I was in back in November.
They mentioned me! "Martin’s “Downright Dispicable” (acrylic on wood) offers another striking visual experience. The object of the panel is commanding while her floating body-less companions pleasantly adorn the piece like a soft buttercream." Buttercream huh?
