The Hookah 3/07
Inks, Watercolour, pens


This one's rather similiar to the Philosophers ego, i made it about a year before though. It's supposed to be the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, which was one of my early childhood books.

Around the time i finished it, i was reading a book called "whisper" a prison diary of a convicted drug felon. The whole thing was written on tiny bits of paper and pieced together to make up a very bizarre book. I think this quote describes this piece perfectly.

"At HIS orgies Ethiopian eunuchs suck silver hookahs on persian carpets, chat with gargoylees and fish-men and hors-d'ouvre of hash candy and benzedrine, naked slave girls dance with giant moths on revolving ivory pedastals feeding anglo-aphrodesiacs to Afghan hounds."

So surreal, and yet it's so tangible! Like, I could touch it right now. I love this.

Cool :) Do you see images like this in your imagination? Or is it a thing where you sort of go out of your way to bend and twist reality in this visual sense? Just curious..and thought it was better than just responding with 'Cool' ;)

I like it, the only thing is the lack of texture on the catapiller body, but that's just my hang up I guess.

I see what I see, my reality mixed with fantasy.
Phantasms of ideas based on what is real.
