gotta agree the girl in the mirror does it for me too. the skinny looks like she'd chew you up and spit you out rather then be nice to you.

This is interesting. This was an illustration for eating disorders, about the distorted body image some woman have when looking in a mirror.

When I did this illustration years ago, men said that they didn't "Get it" and most women said: "Oh, that's how I feel when I look in a mirror.."

I did change the woman's face slightly, trying to make her look more "hungry" but I may have accomplished something else entirely! LOL

Yup, I got it. Of course I live with a wife and a teen daughter who I think are beautiful... but who both complain about where they think they should be weightwise. No eating disorders; just a physical self-image problem.

I really like the bold ink-block lines.

This reminds me of my daughter...she is thin, yet thinks she is fat. Nice job!

Hey Cris,

Remember me? Imagine my surprise when the topic for this week's Illo Friday came with your name attached. I've been contributing to IF for over a year now but haven't run across your stuff...I like it! Hope all's well with you and Rich.
