Inspired by the director, John Carpenter, this animated loop NFT, entitled “Head” takes its departure from a body of work made during the lockdowns. A series of random cathartic cartoony drawings based on the craziness of what was going on outside one’s head, as well as inside.
Animated scribbles & random words are almost graffiti like, dancing across the paper plane. The main object, the pumpkin, heavy, low to the ground & on fire inside, may feel like one’s own head during the last two years.
I’m a big fan of John Carpenters music (as well as his films), so I got my 13-year-old son (he’s showing interest in NFTS & wanted to help on this) to make the music for this NFT based upon John Carpenters very own soundtracks, which he used to make himself, in a quasi-DIY manor, for his horror films.
This drawing was made specifically for this NFT, & will be destroyed in celebration, on sale of this piece, very much like Halloween itself, the NFT being the, the ‘Thing’ in itself, the digital ghost of the original.
