AFRICAN ART MONTH! 4


This is an old piece - done about 7 or 8 years ago.
I love the idea of giant, ungainly masks and ceremonial garb.

SKETCH-OF-THE-DAY 090



Y is for Yehwe Zogbanu

If you be a hunter wandering around the west African state of Dahomey and you don't mind where you be walkin', you might just stumble into the territory of Yehwe Zogbanu - and that would be quite bad for you (especially if you like being alive and uneaten).

Yehwe is said to be a gigantic, fiendishly predatory giant with 30 horns on his head and body. And he likes to kill and eat hunters that wander into his yard. So next time you see a "No Trespassing" sign - well, consider staying out of there.


On another note, my book AGGREGATE is now going to print!!!! I'm hoping to get the books possibly by the end of March - maybe early April!!!!
