One of the most important things about doing a drawing is knowing when to stop. Anyway, last night, I was thinking about the way age creeps up on us, and first I thought it was like a shadow, like advancing night, but that struck me as totally unoriginal. Then it occurred to me that it was more like a fungus-- creeping up, devouring knees, denuding the scalp...
So, this began as a drawing about that, but, when I got to the point you see it here, I stopped because it's such an ambiguous image. It could be about anything. If I had "finished" it, I would have killed it. I would have narrowed its range of possibilities to one degree.

cool drawing! haha i thought it was like that weird girl from 101 dalmations, or whatever, those weird disney villain ladies...but better obviously. maybe hes crawling out of curly fries. I like the long fingernails to suggest that point in life where old people stop grooming their nail lengths because they're old and forget about it.
Makes me think of a George Washington-ish Poudered Wig guy.
