Following on from the Oral Fixation project, I wanted to pick another simple concept to draw inspiration from. I'm sure all dark artists draw baby dolls at some point.

The bulk of this series was made in 2021, with the exception of one drawing from 2020 that I made separately as a concept for a back patch I wanted to paint and later added to this series.

By mid-2023 I turned two of these concepts into paintings. I still have the back-patch to finish, and one day I might revisit some more of these for watercolours.

A broken baby doll head with no eyes at the top of the drawing. An eyeball is large in the bottom right where it is trailing out of one of the baby doll eye sockets.

A baby doll head with baby doll limbs coming out of it.

A portrait of a baby who is my niece. She has been made to look like a ventriloquist doll with fake hair, long eyelashes, painted stylised makeup, and lines on her jaw showing it opens and shuts.

A cracked baby doll head with a large arrow piercing the head downwards.

A baby doll head with succulents coming out of the top of it. Some come out of the mouth.

A baby doll, or possibly a real baby head, with a long tongue coming out. The tongue is dripping at the tip.

A baby doll head with a crack in the top. There is stylised dripping coming out from the head, and the top of the head has nails sticking out of it.

Four baby doll heads stacked on top of each other on a skewer.

A baby doll head with stylised dripping from the eyes and down into a pool at the bottom.

A baby doll head with tentacles coming out of the bottom.
