the source images were cut out of old highlights magazines from the early 60 then scanned in. Everything you see was manipulated in photoshop.

The older individual kind of appears to be doing some kind of kong fu stance. Mental illness is nothing worse than having pneumonia, oh man, that's crazy, did that come from a publication?

the text and illustration of the people came from old issues of highlights magazine from 1961

That came from a children magazine, wow, what a find?

He MAY come home cured...or with a psychiatric extreme makeover...a brand new lobotomy. Great as usual...in fact, this one is extra great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you are just saying its extra great cuz i used a piece of yer stock 
i think it's funny that these kids used such proper english back in 1961
who the hell names their child eldon tho?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I think it's extra great coz I find the topic of mental illness particularly interesting. I have a close relative who I've spent many hours visiting in psychiatric hospitals over the years...it's very insightful (& sad). I think only a mentally ill person would call their kid Eldon.

you know.. you touched on a concern the bounced around my brain for a bit while working on this image.
i just thought the language and verbage of the text was funny... but i worried that maybe i would offend someone who had psycholigical problems, or had relatives with similar problems.
in the end my impish side won the battle.

My mum's been sick for years & I think a sense of humour's the only thing that keeps you sane in the end. She hasn't lost her biting wit, & there's even laughs to be had in the bleak setting of a mental hospital. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you...it didn't offend me...I think those educational guides are really funny & quaint & you weren't saying anything insensitive or bigoted or anything.
Long live the imp!

you hit the nail on the head about a sense of humour keeping one sane. out ability to laugh at ourselves and enjoy the absurd is one of lifes great pleasures. the world would be very bleak if i couldnt laugh and not take it so seriously.

Nice work...it's weird in a good sense. Like the oddness of the comic, Red Meat.
Very good balance. I like the vertical feel of this. Very proper.

thanx cogsy
i like the fun weird... putting things in different contexts than what they were originally created.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
haha! quite odd, i must say.
magically delicious though..you come up with the most wonderful concepts.
i'm really liking this kind of americana/50's theme you've been with for a while now.
this was put together beautifully.
grade a aslyummy goodness.
and even though it's already been asked..what book was that originally from or did you write it yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks.
i love re-contextualizing (is that a real word? if not it should be) these images and words.
glad you are appreciating this style-- im having quite a bit of fun with it. It's quite enjoyable hunting down the images and things to use... thank gosh for local fleat-tiques and antique malls.
to answer your question about what book it came from: the words and the picture of the two boys both come from an issue of highlights magazine from 1961. I did use both of these outside of their original context.

i'm assuming that the nut - i mean the mentally challenged individual - on the chair playing with coins is indeed toby's dad. if not, than bob and/or eldon may want to get fitted for white jackets as well. and what's the boy looking at anyway? the magic zipper trick? oh my.
super words, colors and darren stevensy type of imagery! no death threats needed! hooray!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
unfortunately your assumption is incorrect. that's bob and eldon. that's toby's dad on the left.
as for bob.. well he has a bit of a staring problem that sometimes makes eldon think he might have certain 'special' feelings.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i stand corrected, but i still think eldon and bob are a little more than special themselves. i'd keep an eye out if i were you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
im thinking the same thing.
im not sure if eldon knows how bob feels yet or not... but he's sure to find out sooner or later.

Im just getting over a LONG night of caffine and HW, questions dont register well at the moment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i can totally understand that frame of mind.
go and get some sleep and let morpheus take you away to his realm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
RAHAHAHA
sleep?
oh you must be speaking of those 3 hours I got last night!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you say that like 3 hours isnt enough-- you damn sleep hog you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually all bitching aside I still have leftover caffine in my blood stream so Im going to be ok for a couple more hours...once english gets out NAP TIME!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no doubt that you do... gosh knows im working a nice caffeine buzz today-- i gots me a triple americano this morning.. and it helped put a spring in my step.
now if only i was busy at work today.... nothing like having a caffeine buzz and being bored.

mentally exhausted...

yes bob is.. he also seems to have a staring problem as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i didn't want to say anything. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes he certainly is. someone did not learn from miss manners.
i think bob will grow up to one of those 'creepy' boys.
