"Pazuzu, Lord of Fevers and Plagues, Dark Angel of the Four Winds with rotting genitals from which he howls through sharpened teeth over stricken cities…."

- William S. Burroughs, Cities of the Red Night

At last, Humwawa's brother is finished.
With Humwawa, I just sort of went wild and did my own thing, but since there are already a lot of ancient relics of Pazuzu in existance, I decided to base my painting strongly on how those look.

I felt it was important to keep the hand positioning the same, as it is a constant theme with all Pazuzu relics and means life and death...creation and destruction.

Hope you enjoy!
