Sometimes, you start with a general feeling of unease and it can be hard to put words to it…I’ve been feeling out of sorts for the last couple of days and having a hard time explaining. When a doodle that was started during an overly-long meeting matured into this drawing (aided by an old anatomy textbook I have), I stepped back, took a look at it, and thought, “Yep – this is exactly what I wanted to say.” Drawing (pencil on newsprint) by me. I wish everyone a great weekend!

This elicits so vividly that peripheral feeling of unease that as you say, we don’t really have a specific word for (at least that I can think of, in English). Two words: nailed it.

Seconding Nina…although I have no idea where my Anatomy for Artists is at the moment. I also have plenty of experience with that uneasy state. You’ve captured it well.

Thank you! I’ve lugged my rapidly aging Anatomy and Physiology textbook through 4 different cities now and I am always glad I have it to turn back to for science and art!

You are so talented! This looks a little like the artist’s (and the poet’s) cortical homunculus. Beautifully drawn!

Thank you, John! As it developed, the homunculus drawings/sculptures definitely came to mind – but I love the idea of the “artist’s homunculus.”
