WIP Arterial, Part 01
I was asked if I could do a medically themed image for a semi-commission and I’d already had an idea like this brewing so I’m going ahead with it. I was told that disembowelment was too far and I knew I wanted to explore medical themes in my work without resorting to images of the [...]
