Description Update 24-12-2009
1. Due to the many irrelevant comments I'm disabling the comment feature for this work. Sorry folks.
2. Yes, this is the drawing that Shia LaBeouf has tattooed on his ribcage.


This drawing is about being a prisoner of your own actions and choices. It shows how I felt when I was going through a tough period in my life.

- graphite on Lana drawing paper
- photo reference (my own hand)
- about 12 hours
- 12" x 9"

Hope you like it.

This is realy well drawn :3 And as alot of people will have said, and the daily deviation (which was given years ago XD) has said, it is like we are prisoners of our own work, and we shall not leave behind the art that we draw, and have drawn :3

very nice i like it a lot. When I saw the thumbnail and title i thought of the idea 'risoner of my own design' but actions works too.

i also laugh at everybody who doesn't read the description and mention you being inspired my Escher. hehe

very fun and generally beautifully rendered, my only complaint is that the posture of the hand seems to be as though it is drawing a straight line and doesn't seem to be naturally postured for the curve of the ball.
