Description
INK on paper.This is pretty straight forward. The globe, books and molecule symbolize intellect. The figure is forced to carry around all his intellectual weight and it is slowly crushing him.
Ever learn something that you wish you didn't know? All those food poisoning and sanitation stories? All those statistics on rape and crime and pollution that we so often avoid? Ever notice how we all too often hide behind the ideas of others? Ever notice that truth often hurts?
This is a pretty simple composition I did at work with microns and some india ink.

Good idea for the concept! Very understandable. Yeah, there are plenty of times I wished I didn't know the things I know now. Ugh! But that's life. College sucks and so do parents.

Very nice symbolism here. . .
yeah if your smart, your sad. . .
If you're like Stimpy, your always happy...
What I'm trying to say is that the things you
don't know, can make you happy. Once you know
what the truth is. . . it's a kick in the @$$...
I like your concept on the whole thing, very thoughtful. . .
