Description

"Ego". Pencil & ink on sketchbook paper. 6.5" x 8.5". Drawn 2019, signed 2020, purchased Nov, 2021. Hanging on my bedroom wall ever since.

While Miles is most known for his paintings and graphite drawings, his pencil & ink drawings are also incredible. This is likely his most well known inked piece. The image was used to make t-shirts, stickers & several colored versions of a detailed resin statue. It was also featured in his book "Excavations" released through Aux Gallery and his book "Liminality" released through Paragon Books.

Taken from artsy.net: Miles Johnston (b 1993)is a conceptual artist and illustrator known for surreal pencil drawings, which have earned him over 1 million followers on Instagram. Johnston’s psychologically charged, dreamlike illustrations show faces and bodies that have been sliced, melted, and otherwise distorted to visually express the thoughts, fears, and emotions hidden inside the minds of their subjects.

Miles is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Very nice illustration to express an emotional state of inner crisis as the burden increases as the ego becomes bigger.

I got to say I prefer your drawing over the sculpture. But both are powerful images. Congrats.

Thankfully my ego does not leak or weigh heavily on me. Lol.

Outrageous depiction. That's years and years worth of therapy fodder right there. Sublime!
