Description A creepy but not-entirely-bad piece that I did for SPIN magazine about ten years ago, as an illustration for the "ICON" tech-related column... The article discussed body-modification websites, in case you couldn't guess.

Line art by me, Photoshop colors by Pat Duke. (Sadly, the piece is scanned from a printed page; I hope you'll pardon the low quality of the jpeg.)

Awesome! I love your original artwork from "The Dirty Pair: Fatal, But Not Serious," saga! That was the best style of your artwork that has always inspired me!

The scarifications are brilliant, texture is perfect, well done.

Wow...I'm creeped out. You know...the girl in the front reminds me of Lina Inverse from Slayers a little bit.

I'm with Blurukus; the red-head is my favorite of the bunch. Less so for the tongue piercing, but the tribal tattoos really go with her look.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, your illustration of the extreme body mods or the fact I've known girls that had about the same amount of work done to themselves.

It's not creepy, compared to what walks around my home town that's a pretty standard view
