Art Week: “Never Look Back” by Andrew Bell

Never Look Back, originally uploaded by Cryptonaut.

And now Art Week takes a dark turn…

I feel slightly ashamed to say so, but I find this picture endlessly amusing. It’s something about the shock in the poor little guy’s eyes…the horrible realization…the fact that it seems to have taken him quite some time to realize that something was wrong…

This also makes me hungry for sushi…does that make me a bad person?

I bought this print from the artist, Andrew Bell (who signed it), a few years ago at his art show at Wootini, an art gallery and vinyl toy shop in Carrboro, NC. It is still available for sale (along with its equally disturbing companion piece) at Andrew’s website, DeadZebra.com. For a daily dose of adorably creepy monsters (both with and without tentacles) by Andrew Bell, check out the Creatures in my Head.

Also, for the record, I don’t know what kind of cephalopod this is supposed to be, unless he has four more stumps on the other side…
