An arrow explodes through the eye of a cavernous skull, exposing a wound that bleeds a beautiful bouquet of flowers. A butterfly perches on the arrow, spreads it’s wings and pollenates the air with its effervescent majesty. As the arrow sinks deeper into the skull and the flowers bloom in an incandescent splendor, at the top of the skull, a tampon appears adorning it like a crown and the image disappears…this is where Gary Villarreal wants you and his art to meet. This week, The Beta Bro’s take a deep dive into the fantastical mind of one of our favorite artists and guests: Gary Villarreal. We talk about his creative process and his upcoming book of sketches available for purchase on his website.
