Brains on the Brain

Ever since I started this blog I've been drawing and painting loads of Brains. It started out as me trying to create an image I could use as a background for this blog and then every time I ended getting side tracked.

After spending some time looking at Laura Ashley wallpaper designs for inspiration (as you do) I noticed that many are pictures of plants. That set me off on a path to the Brain plants below. Which are cool and all that, but as anyone who looked at this blog in the last week will testify, don't make a particularly good background.

Then I realised that my problem was that images on old wallpaper are stencils, not proper pictures. This set me off doing a stencil brain, which ended up with the picture above, which I'm pretty happy with, but still not a suitable background. I think I'm going to give the old brain a rest for a while, although i'm in the process of creating a companion picture (or two) for it.
