Picasso once said

"Whether he likes it or not, man is the instrument of nature; it forces on him its character and appearance."

After having had one of those 'artist blocks' we all love, I set out to draw the patterns in my hair. It was through the sole act of drawing that I was transported to a meditative state, the 'zone' if you will. There was no intent to create this image, it simply came into being through my unconscious. It was not until I stepped back that the vulture revealed its presence to me.
