Doll
 I had some time "off" and just felt like trying out some new concepts and techniques. I can't recall why I decided to wrap an action figure around this man's member. Because it had no fictional backstory, there aren't enough clues to prod my memory. There's a possibility that I had recently done a "straight" illustration wherein a guy was manipulating a doll "voodoo" style but I can't be certain. But this is one of the rare occasions where I had a character directly confront the viewer. Why he's focused on the external is a mystery. Defiance? Perhaps it was a doll created in the likeness of the man and that measure of fame aroused him. I don't have an answer. However, those balls do belong to a guy I was seeing at the time.
