Crowded 1 has been sitting around since thanksgiving when I drew the 1st couple faces. Kept pokin’ around at it and remembered that drawing a crowd of detailed little faces takes a lot of patience. I like to give them characteristics that tell a story about where they’ve been and maybe where they’re going…

I’m fascinated by crowds of people. People act differently in a crowd. How do you act? Do you sometimes feel like everyone’s watching you? Do you hate crowds? Sometimes they are fun, like at a concert, but sometimes you are stuck between some very undesirable creatures. Sometimes an octopus makes his way into the crowd and steals your popcorn while a woman performs oral pleasure on his tentacle.
