He Is The Night
This is the companion painting to "She Is The Night". Quite literally, you could say these two were meant for each other. The original concept came from when I was looking for a new way to continue my "Out of the Woods" series. I decided to create a woman composed of her hair and shirt, but her face and body would be replaced by a nighttime sky with a crescent moon hovering above some pine trees. I enjoyed painting that one so much that I decided to do my own strange male version. Same concept. And a very funky result and when you see the two together, it's quite stunning, especially in person.

Nice. Love this. I love it that it's daytime around them as well. It can speak of "inner darkness" that we all carry, if we relate to the characters. I know I do, I get it, I think. The sliver of moon also says "hope" to me, like..."ok, the light is still there, there's still a phase left to go, still some illumination you can see a path by".
