David O. Aris

the artist

We'll call David O. Aris. He is a homicidal artist. He considers that man is the greatest piece of art ever created, and to remake a human into a piece of art work of his own design is the highest of accomplishments.

the art

It depends on what mood he is in. It could be sculpture, abstract expressionism, or even finger painting in human fluids. When picking a subject/victim he takes someone who by society's standards is beautiful and then changes them into what the art world considers beautiful (or would consider beautiful if they hadn't been disgusted by the medium).

the beret

He is bald, so he almost always wears a beret when he is out of his studio looking for a subject. It is a reddish-brown, ratty, beaten, up thing. Given to him before his first show by his fiance. The night before vandals came in and ruined his pieces of work. During the show when they were unvieled people saw the vandalism done and laughed. The stress of the show, the shock of the vandalism, and the fact everybody even his fiance was laughing mad him snap. That day he created his first homicidal artpiece, "An Orgy of Laughter and Blood". His cap is special to him because when he got it, it was white, but since then he has dipped it in the blood of every new subject he gets.
