art post 10.1: Neck Face
I like Neck Face so much that over the past five years I've bought six pieces by him. The first ones I got were these tiny 3" x 3" drawings that he just whipped off on the back of Sanrio post-it notes. If I were a better photographer or if you were here in my apartment you could actually see the little imprint and name "Pochaco" on the backside (Pochaco is one of the Sanrio characters, by the way).
Anyway, I was being cheap when I bought these mini-pieces for almost no money, but I think their size is inversely proportional to their amount of awesome. They are what inspired my pal Robertflyrail to say once, while visiting and looking around the apartment at the pieces I'd purchased up to that point, "You seem to have a lot of violent art. Have you thought about that?"
That made me laugh because he was right. Andmoroccomole had already beaten him to the punch with that assessment, because when I brought them home he said, "Oh good, we needed more doom in here."
There are three other Neck Face pieces and I'll post those next, the biggest one of them is, in fact, even more violent than these. So no one can accuse me of being cynically speculative and not buying the stuff I love, I guess.
Here's a link to his Wikipedia page, which in turn has more links to some great higher-resolution stuff
