marker fighter
jon shirley brought this little dude in over the summer, to trade for a fox skull that had come into our possession. john had recently got the back of his freshly-shaven head tattooed, in a cool pentagram / batwings / upside-down cross / “antichrist” / “666″ design, and when i gave him the skull (and a string to hang it from) he immediately took off his shirt and wore the skull as a necklace. it sat perfectly in the hollow of his sunken chest, and he told me he would never wear a shirt again.
i’m guessing the statue was originally holding a wheelbarrow, plow, or other instrument of labor, but i think these shitty markers make a far better complement. bare feet grounded but ready to spring, steel-eyed reserve, half-smile, guns blazing, and the guns are weird. hi jon!
