This
pencil drwawing really stands on its own, especially for the time
frame in which it was created. I suppose it has elements of the
squirming 'teeth/eye/claw' images, but something more cartoony
and bizarre is going on here.
This
drawing was done on the fly, elements added as I was going, more
and more tubes intertwined to complexify the design. As the drawing
progressed, details were added to give each tube a 'personality'
and small elements were interspersed to add depth and motion to
the illustration.
Really
this is the only drawing of its kind, and further attempts to
work on variations were not successful. I just couldn't capture
whatever it is that is goin on in this piece. It has always been
one of my favorites, and I have an ongoing large scale finished
drawing of it that is in the beginning stages, and will most probably
be scanned into the computer for some color variations.
