cold man

There is an amazing exhibit about the human body with plasticized parts, like the entire nervous system hot glued and sandwiched between glass (youch!). For me the most haunting was the man on horseback. We have a joke with friends that involves “Cold Man” who was first introduced at the exhibit. This year we are bringing commemorative cups and created this art:

coldman
The figure is supposed to look awkward because it’s based on an awkward Greek statue
ancient greek statue with arms outstretched
Poseidon of Artemision (possibly Zeus). He’s in a position of action, but the muscles are relaxed.

It’s always fun to work with negative/positive space with just one color.
