Make the Mersh sticker
A head thrown back mid-shout, mouth wide open with a lit cigarette still clamped in it and blue-mirrored glasses over the eyes, drawn as artwork for a sticker. Rays burst out behind the head to fill the page.
The head is cropped hard at both sides so it overruns the sheet, set against a sunburst whose rays radiate from a point behind the open mouth. Nothing else is drawn; the design is the head and the rays.
Cadmium orange and chrome yellow in the rays against the warm brown and slate of the beard, with the glasses in cobalt and white.
Ink contour filled with watercolour laid in wet, the beard worked in broken directional strokes and the rays brushed as flat alternating bands. Spatter is flicked across the lower half.
Watercolour and ink in a sketchbook.
No signature within the drawn area; the sheet is working artwork.
