"Wot, No Nose?"


What’s the point of drawing graffiti like this, if you don’t make his nose dangle over the wall?


Not doing this was a missed opportunity. For some reason, the whitewashing finger-artist went for a proportioned hooter instead of a bulbous one. They opted for nasal naturalism over caricature, yet went all out with his hair and ears. It doesn’t hurt to be consistent.

The scale of the whole combo concerns me. Either the man’s very big or the wall’s very small. The size of the bricks are in proportion to the face, but if they’re standard house bricks and the wall's only four high, it raises the question of where the rest of his body would be. He’d have to be (1) standing in a hole, or (2) a contortionist.

(I could be overthinking it.)

…and don’t get me started on the Kilroy / Chad debate.
