I know I just posted about Ori Toor’s Ani­mal Col­lec­tive video yes­ter­day, but his draw­ings are just too good to not make a men­tion of.

Ori’s draw­ings are really in their own head. In every draw­ing, there is a lot of con­tem­pla­tion involved. Many of his works seem to pos­sess an inner demon or con­stant source of con­flict. Com­monly, Ori rep­re­sents these by a mass, which at times resem­ble innards. I think of it as excess, and it leaves his char­ac­ters and draw­ings in a very vis­ceral state, their often one of ambiva­lence. While they try to fight it, this doesn’t seem to be enough. It lacks effort, and will prob­a­bly result in their even­tual take over by this gluttony.
