Accidental Depiction

Below a stain man from the edge of a billboard.

I’ve been looking at the faces and animals in stains on walls and billboards, especially under railway bridges. I feel like some Palaeolithic dude looking for shapes on the wall of a cave that I can make into a horse or a bison.

 

 

 

 

 

This is a genuine ‘accidental depiction’. It’s a little canvas I left on the bench and occasionally spilt coffee and tea on, and one day I was loading some ink cartridges over it. The next day I noticed this rather creepy face and some kind of figure in the background. Very “Ghost of Christmas Past”.
