Heart #005 is released on April 5th, 2021, commemorating the 27th anniversary of Kurt Cobain tragic suicide. This piece did not begin with Cobain in mind. It began with the two separate blank areas, top and bottom. I was evaluating color stripe combinations for the lower portion. When I saw the red stripes I immediately thought of Cobain's iconic red striped sweater. From there, the top area formed the head with hair and flesh toned face. The piece was finished with a ragged heart indicative of Cobain's anguish at the end of his life.

This is the fifth in the series of my Heart of Hearts collection which will be a daily variation on a theme. Each heart is uniquely hand drawn.
