John Martin HS22.464

John Martin had a roaring time with this magazine illustration with an overlay of a man's face and shoulders. It is drawn with paint and marker. The photograph seems to be a messy and crowded tops of desks at all levels from the floor up. Martin places a man's oversize head in the center of the composition. The bald head is in brick red and his pointy ears are detailed with black and white markers. He has a capacious nose, a mustache and a protruding black tongue. Along the bottom are white lines suggesting a shirt.
