Artwork Description

This is ink with ink brash and ink via ink felt pens. The ink is unforgiving and mistakes can't be fixed or erased. The previous red head took 3 goes this one only took 2 goes to get it right. The lines in between are done with a felt pen with water and fade resistant ink.

The design is from the front cover of the redheads matches, match book. The design was used around 1947 on the front cover of the brymay matches, made in Australia. This design was reused a few more times in the 2000's

The original was drawn on 110 gsm but then glued onto 600gsm stock.

Artist Bio
Photo of Ersu Turk
Ersu Turk 28 artworks | 9 Sold

Computer programmer for years, and love the creative process in coding software. However no one gets to see this creative process so have gone back to art. The last few years I have been looking for the best medium for me, and I think I have settled on 2 so far. I originally started with sketching and do like to sketch with graphite pencil. I've now also included Textile Art/Fabric Art. My inspiration is Bisa Butler, who creates life size pieces using American Black History. My calling is pop culture and comic book references. I've scoured a few 1960's Romance Comic Books as reference as well as using some of my own photographs of animals and things around me..
