Cheshire Cat

This is a funtastic drawing that I vectored by ~rancidpencil -- She rocks. Totally. Go check her stuffs out.

Anyway, as the story goes, Jimbob was a simple man. He grew up on a small farm and when his family died the government wanted to steal his land and thus they evicted him. Poor Jimbob turned to the city of Spazntuch (probably in Germany) to seek a normal, happy life. There, Jimbob ate a pie. "Mmm pie!" Jimbob thought. Yes, mmm pie, mmm pie indeed. Then Jimbob met a lovely young lady, Sallysue.

Jimbob was instantly in love and gave everything he had in life to the young lady. She loved him back... for about 10 minutes. Then, she jetted off to Canada and lived in an igloo for the rest of her days. Jimbob was crushed! His true love had left him! Jimbob had heard that the pain of love was like having your heart ripped out, but strangely he didn't feel a thing physically besides tired from crying so much.

Jimbob didn't want to feel unnatural by not having the physical pain, so he cut open his chest like an Aztec warrior sacrificing a baby on the altar. After which, he held out his heart and thought to himself, "hey, this kinda reminds me of that Indiana Jones movie..." and died.

The moral of the story kids? Don't rip out your heart to fit in!

Ok, with that said, this took about 45 minutes and a mountain dew. Done in Photoshop 7 with a mouse as usual. I followed my tutorial to get the effect. If you like this piece and want to know how I did it or you want to try it -- check out my tutorial in my gallery.

KTHXBYE!
