Georgia and the Skull


Georgia O'Keeffe

This is one of my favourite pictures of Georgia O'Keeffe. She looks vital though she obviously is very old.

I once copied the skull on the background on a paper with a pencil and took the drawing to a tattoo shop and got it printed on my skin. It's my praise to Georgia. People who see it might think that I'm a member of a suspicious secret sect or ambassador of death. I don't care. I think it's beautiful. And I like giving new meanings to old things.
