About the Artwork

Title: "8 Heads Are Better Than 6"

Charlie created "8 Heads Are Better Than 6" when he was 7 years old and described it as "a monstrous floating evil spirit with unbelievable powers."

Charlie recently reflected back on the experience of creating his artwork. "I had some Catscans take to see if my head was ok, and I looked at it and thought, 'I wonder what these Catscans would look like as heads...' So, I layed on the floor with my teachers, who were visiting, and they traced most of me! After we chose the most diverse colors we could find, I started to paint!"

When making this piece, Charlie says, "[I was thinking about] my 8 really good buds. I was also thinking that my catscan would be quite inspirational."
