Faces
The human mind likes to create order out of chaos. When we stare at clouds, we see objects, animals or faces. The same thing happens when we see ink blots or abstract patterns. That tendency to interpret vague or random things and turn them into something is called Pareidolia.
Kevin liked to exploit that tendency of the human brain but with a twist. He actually hid faces
in these works.
Kevin put far more into his pictures that can first be seen from a quick glance. Take a close look at the image of Watching Bowlerama. Can you spot the hidden sayings or idioms? Here are some examples.
In the corner of one eye there's an apple. It's the "Apple of my eye." The zipper on the mouth is for people who talk too much. They need to "Zip it up." On the ear is a fishing hook with a line and sinker connected. You fell for it "Hook, line and sinker." The "Hammer head" is "Leading him by the nose" while being a "Blow hard."
How many things can you see?

Watching Bowlerama - Master Template
Kevin liked consistency. Once he created something, he wanted to be able to re-create it flawlessly. For many of his pieces, he drew a master picture, complete with notes on colors and shading information. This is the master for Watching Bowlerama.
