drawing elephantitis



went to the Huntarian Museum for the second time in the last few months. absolutely love the place, completely grosses people out 'which of course i love'. did a bit of observational drawing which is always nice. took a few sneaky photographs. kusht.
the trip sparked some inspiration. ive drawn these a3 pieces with an idea of showing a imaginary patients health. i wanted it to show the struggle of emotions someone with elephantitis would battle through, but in a light hearted plastic pastle drawing style. i enjoy using dark serious subject matter and making it childish and pretty. used mouths again. im interested in having running themes through work, mouths are a symbol for pain and decoration. habit mostly. im unsure how well its worked. im really hungover today
