Miss Crash of Studio Servitu painted in the naive style of the circus sideshow banner art of Fred G. Johnson. Part of a larger image I'm making.
Meant to evoke the tarot card, 'Le Pendu,' or 'The Hanged Man.'

John Asaro's Planes of the Head is a book that has been around for some time, and it was accompanied by a bust that contained simplified head planes on one side and slightly more complex ones on the other. Now to this material has been added several more heads.
I just bought the very simplified one, pictured above, and I find it excellent and well made. It even happens to have a screw hole in the base that looks designed to allow the head to be installed on a standard tripod.
I think this head would be useful for practicing portraiture lighting as well.
