I Need A Hug

Description

Drawn freehand. Inked. Scanned. Traced in Adobe Illustrator. This will be a piece of my own for the Art Conspiracy show on the 3rd of December. My plan is to do it over in acrylic paint on the primered plywood substrate. If I don't like how it turns out, I'll just spray mount a glossy print out over it...
When I first thought of this, the idea was that the guy was raging against "the man" (i.e. the police, authority), and just wasn't strong enough to kick the ass of oppression. Now that I think about it, it seems to me that the guy is exhausted for some other reason--- life is beating him down, he's had a hard day at work or whatever. He trys leaning on authority for support, but authority is unresponsive, unfealing, uncaring, ambivilant. 'The Man Don't Give A Fuck' as the Super Furry Animals would say... hence the title.
