IF ...breakfast

Mohandas Gandhi likely had the most momentous and historically important breakfastes of anyone... when he decided to break HIS fasts, it was international front page news and by that time there were millions on edge about when he would chow down, and what the world would look like once he decided to swallow. Better poach those eggs just right... wait, that wouldn't have been on the menu; better squeeze that orange juice with panache!

  2. Yowzer! The spoon in this emaciated figure jolts my nerve center. Like a lightning bolt. I immediately feel Ghandi's torture. I like how you've captured his elfish, pure nature. Your art has real power.

  4. I'm enjoying seeing you do to the body what you normally reserve for the head.
    P.S. Illustration Friday was brought up at ICON more than once. I think some of the illustration literate art directors are looking at it. Who knows...
