Description
"I am a sick man...I am a spiteful man." In my opinion, those opening lines from Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground rank right up there with "Call me Ishmael" in the ranks of great first sentences. I read the book in high school, and it's always stuck with me. Even though the protagonist is not an adolescent, it reads as an angst-filled, existentialist, adolescent rant. It's deeply, intensely psychological and WAY ahead of its time.
This picture started as a doodle when I was on a conference call. I liked the composition, so I re-drew it, this time using a reference for the face (see below; the photographer is the wonderful sandas04, who takes amazing B&W "street" pictures. Please check his work out).
The title just came to me after I finished the picture. I was trying to capture a feeling of alienation, but the original working title was "facebook".
Done with black ballpoint pen. Reference photo:
