Blind Contour Friday #23 - 3-eyed man
Sam got this sideshow gaff from a guy a while back...I think he traded him some Brill plans or something. Anyway, it sits in his office, just inside the back door, to welcome all of our guests. I know it's weird, and I am surprised our kids are not totally freaked out by it. I was looking for something unusual to draw, and this is what I came up with. His name is Jules and you can read his story here. You'll have to scroll down a little, it's after the 2 headed baby and the siamese fetus skull. I did this drawing in one of the journals Sam brought back from Indonesia. The first is a blind contour...but since it is such a wierd object, I decided I had better sketch it too, so you could see that I wasn't just forgetting that I had already drawn an eye socket when you see three.

This is really neat. Excellent subject & wonderful drawings!
oooh I like how the bc looks like its snacking on the more detailed illu - nice work - fab choice of ink and paper too!
It's great that you showed both versions, so well done and lovely composition.
SKILLFULLY done! The shading in the skull is so great! And you can really tell what it is with your bc!
i love the combo. and a great composition as others have said.
the brown paper really adds a nice feeling to the subject.
