Before she started smoking crystal meth, and after.

I am so not sure what the illustration is suppossed to be about, but without such context, it is just flat out creepy.

Almost like seeing a photo before and after someone scratches out someones eyeballs.

Very wierd. Good sketch work though, great lines, shadowing.

Seriously do you have any description of the illustration for context? I just do not get why distort such a pretty face in such a destructive way.

I know he is trying to 'illustrate' something, but what? The monster within beauty? Beauty ruined? Is is suppossed to be an abstract decorative thought?

I just do not get it.
