The scream

13.5 x 9 , Ink on paper, framed
 
Claustrophobic chaos meets cosmic paranoia in "The Scream", a raw and surreal ink drawing that channels primal fear through scribbled madness. At the center: a hollow, eyeless figure with a gaping mouth and a singular staring eye above its head—half oracle, half victim. It screams, or maybe it listens.
Deadhand's frenzied linework creates a dense, oppressive background that swirls with symbols and motion—hypnotic eyes, a suspended bell, geometric pyramids. There’s something ancient and apocalyptic here, like an alien hieroglyph or a psychic breakdown preserved in pen. The symmetrical layout only heightens the discomfort, giving it the feel of a cultic relic or a snapshot from a fever dream.
Framed in a powder blue that offers deceptive calm, this piece draws you in like a whisper you’re not supposed to hear. Perfect for collectors of outsider art, horror illustration, or modern mythologies drawn in black ink and bloodless panic.
