Description

An early Millennial drawing, inspired in part by a schizophrenic acquaintance of mine while living in Salina, Kansas. In the image a creature exists in a deranged state; its one eye smeared across a suggestion of a nude form, terminating at the left side above a representation of an organic orifice.  The other eye, consequently, is pinched thin as it maintains an anchor of sobriety against the corporeal fetishism of the mind.
