Mugging

At lot has been happening recently and it has left me feeling rather unsettled. So I thought this was the opportunity to post a picture in which I was trying to instill a definite sense of menace. The inspiration for this actually came not from the situation but from the rocks. I was given a book called the Artist's Handbook and in there is a chapter on the technique of crosshatching. I tried it on a rock and then the whole picture poured out of that.
