Siamese Twins - 1997

One of my first sketches, done with graphite and black ink back in 1997. Inspired by Siamese Twins song (The Cure) and Edvard Munch's "The Scream". The "A" letter is missing and I decided not to change this in Photoshop.

As this is my first entry here, I named the blog after it.
