D is for Danika



Danika is a punk rock princess.She goes beyond her what her entourage lacks. She will show you things. She is bold enough and clever enough to grab your attention. She overflows with artistic ideas that she funnels into her fashion, her art, her performances, and her body.

She draws crowds and is the pied piper of her own show, one that she pulls you in and makes you participate. That is her talent. She has decided you will be a part of her ride, and so you are.The piece is a portrait of her and her alter ego Demonika.Chrome. Black. Red. Sharp-edged. Sleek. Dangerous.
The length of this piece is the tall thin elevator that she rode after visiting the dentist. This elevator led her to an eerie encounter that made this tooth that much more poignant.

The canvas for this picture is an old wooden step.

The skull is Demonika, and the goosenecks represent her vision. The light is for when she puts herself on display for the world to see.

The heart is from the book… as Danika is an absolute sweetheart.
