Or, if you prefer, the Alternate Title: "Why I Shouldn't Be Allowed To Draw Hands"

Occasionally I need to call on Alice to rescue me from the fantasies replaying in my head and remind me that there is more to life than dreaming about animated underage Japanese schoolgirls.

Or rather, as this hastily-put-together sketch suggests, she comes without my permission and drags me away crying.

Sorry about the tiny size; I don't have access to any good digital cameras/scanners when I'm not at work...

I based this drawing off of a concept I saw in this edition of Roman Dirge's Lenore (which is totally worth checking out, by the way, especially for all you Jhonen Vasquez and Tim Burton fans out there) [link] and in this clip from Constantine [link] ... I know that they are both based on a famous painting, but I don't know what the title of the original artwork is and who made it... :stupidme: Ugh. And to think I've seen it before, too... Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about?

i'm not too fond of that alternate title. practice makes perfect, and they read as hands. I saw them as hands. In fact, you'd have to be a mongoloid moron not to read them as hands. I've never seen anyone who claims to be unable to draw hands draw so many hands. I think that takes balls. I'm not sure what kind though. I've heard of Lenore but haven't actually sat down and read it, and i'm not too fond of keanu reeves, but i'm totally digging the Home Movies vibe i get from this picture. Its no masterpiece. Proportions are off and its a little flat, but its so god damn cute i can't help but love it. You sir get a gold star.

hehe. thanks. lenore is hilarious; there are some flash animations about if you're too lazy to read the comics, and while that's how i got into the story, i prefer the comics... light-hearted, darkly evil fun.
