this illustration is inspired by the Italian term "seghe mentali" (it would be translated with saws but in the slang it assumes the meaning of wankers🤷♂️) which may seem something apparently vulgar but hides many shades in addition to the meaning it assumes on the facade.
A mental wanker basically has a mind that travels much faster than his body (but really fast),
and a mind projected to abstraction is certainly a gift that must be taken care of because
unspoken things, projects never realized and many, many skeletons in the closet might form in the head of those who think too much and act little.🏃🏻
If the heads of these individuals could open, beautiful things would come out or things that we would have preferred not to see.🔨
During our life, people come and go from our head, some stay, someone wants to know you better and thinks you're cool! someone loves you🧚🏻♀️, and maybe they can save a little "mental wanker" from the hell that he himself created.
a thing that i enjoy the most doing this collages is the research of the images and combining illustrations from multiple countries.
in this illustration I have used an anatomical image from Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy.
advertising of soap, cigarettes, the cover of an Italian comic and a page of insects found online🐞
the idea of the concept came to me from some absurd talks with an old friend, I think it's really useful to talk about these kinds of things although it can be quite insane at times😅
