Description
12.75" x 19.5 original art for a print that accompanied the publication of Guy Colwell's Doll series.

Adapted from the publisher's description:

Doll is a darkly satirical take on patriarchal ownership, dehumanization, and sexual objectification. When an artist crafts a lifelike sex doll for a disfigured, middle-aged virgin, it soon takes on a lurid life of its own. Like an erotic Frankenstein's monster, the mannequin brings out the basest instincts in each person it crosses paths with.

Although he considers himself a painter and fine artist, Colwell has produced some stellar comics work, including Inner City Romance and In Fox's Forest. I was happy to pick up some additional pages from the latter story that I'll post at a later date.

Highly recommend this Colwell interview conducted by Katie Skelly on the book's themes:

Oh wow, I'm so glad I choce not to bid on this, as I might have cost you more! I considered it, it was tempting even though it's outside of what I normally buy, because I have fond memories of having read the series back when it was coming out monthly. There were a few Doll pieces on auction in recent weeks but this one was far more accomplished than all the others, so you landed a great one, congrats!

I am doll eyes, doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms, big veins, doll bed
Yeah, Guy really want you
They really want you, like Ruben would
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you and bid it too

I want her be the girl with the moist cake
I love her so much, bids just turns to hate
Guy makes it so real, It is beyond fate
And someday, you will ache, my eyes ache

And someday, you will ache like eyes ache
And someday, you will ache like eyes ache
And someday, you will ache like eyes ache
And someday, you will ache like eyes ache

Very attractive image, and the inks are just masterful! The style instantly made me think of Italian artist Paolo Bacilieri

Lots of great techniques used throughout to create a Doll.
