“I bought my boyfriend a green bath bomb for his birthday that was shaped like a donut and on a lolly stick type thing which if you blew into the middle would blow bubbles. It’s hard to convince him to relax and take a bath sometimes which is something that always helps me unwind – but the lolly stick bath bomb type thing won him over. I captured him in a moment that I would describe as ‘relaxed mania’, which is exactly what I wanted to depict in this drawing. I always embrace these kinds of moods in my work; often inadvertently creating subject matter that can be both humorous and eery.”
