A hungry ghost

This bit of weirdness was inspired by a recent dream. It would take a very long post to put it in context, so I won't bore you with the details. I'm trying to build a poem around it and the line "a hungry ghost in me, machine-carved." If I'm going to have strange dreams, I may as well use them as fodder to fire off some art.

A unique skeleton. I would say, not so scary but mysterious and ingenious. Kudos to you.

Can I use three of your drawings?Thanks.

This is fascinating - just imagining what your dream was that could inspire it.

Wonderful! I love it. Another one of your best!

Wow. This one brings to mind so many emotions. Excellent job. Now you've got me all excited about reading the poem you're writing.

@RoseWorks It's always a challenge to turn creepy into cool :).

@Gregorio Thanks!

@Jena You're always welcome to use any drawings that suit you.

@Jakill It was a very strange dream, and extremely vivid. I have some pretty odd ones. It was set up as if I was watching a documentary about a horror film. This guy was the main attraction, the product of some mad experiment.

@Jane It's got a certain charm :).

@Daisy I should have the poem ready later this week ... if all goes according to plan, which it rarely does :).

I kind of see Blago smiling, smiling with his top lip sticking to the top of his teeth :)

@MsOD There is an eerie resemblance to the Gov, which makes the drawing even scarier :P.
