Description

This original work on paper is executed in graphite and charcoal on a toned paper support. The composition features two human skulls in profile, rendered with anatomical detail and soft tonal shading, facing a centrally positioned soccer ball. Below the central motif is a stylized ribbon banner hand-lettered with the phrase HEADS WILL ROLL. The work reflects a contemporary illustrative style with aesthetic influences drawn from tattoo culture and memento mori imagery. The drawing is housed in a contemporary black-finished wooden frame under glass, utilizing a double mat with a cream-colored outer layer and a thin charcoal-colored inner accent. There is no visible artist signature or date on the front of the piece.

Frame: 27.25 x 27.25 inches.
