"privacy" isn't in the dictionary...
----------------
The above is quoted text from within the piece itself, hard to see even with such a large post.
right away, many will see an "obvious" meaning. Many would be wrong to assume so.
This piece is not directly about Osama Bin Ladin, nor is it literally about 9/11, though both have had major repurcussions in the meaning.
This piece is about privacy.

ink on thumb, transfered to standard printing paper, scanned at 9600 dpi, printed on 4 separate sheets, then transferred to nice n'furry ultra durable paper using Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium. after drying, another layer of gel was scraped on, and then prismacolour markers do the rest that isn't mentioned above.
I only say what was used because there were several things done is all. Not trying to show off or anything, as it really wasn't complicated, nor that time consuming.
I'm rambling again aren't I?
anyways, thanks for viewing, and your comments are appreciated.
created as an anatomy project for a class.

a work full of personality. You seem to manage the technique sharper, even if the medium was half new for you. Great work indeed.

There is so much that can be read into this...I see deeper meanings than mere privacy...I like it.

Would have looked great without the wonky sketch of Bin Laden, and the poem. I wish I had so many art school supplies at my disposal. No I don't think you're showing off.
