Man... I wish I'd tried harder.

Love the first panel - very Banksy

Katyism, I think your panel is one of the best parts of this corpse!

I like that it stayed on a white background... Excellent start, Jolly Gnome - great that you left the bottom ambiguous (especially in relation to the arresting subject matter above). RN, did you use crayons on that? Cool. The graceful rainbow swirl is nice, as is the nose, and those smokers are hilarious - nice that the smoke is going right into the nostril!

Isn't that one of the tenets of Katyism, to try harder?
I agree about the Banksy bit.

Oh man--this looks so cool!
I used oil pastels and a felt tip pen
It looks like my guy is falling down the slippery slope of greed and getting mixed up with drugs and stuff

Uhhuh... it looks like something I would've never quessed, not bad though, but I dare anyone to try and analyze that cadavre as whole :)
Title works quite well too, and in a way represents the really odd flow of the corpse.
Ryans piece connects nicely, no matter that it's apparently hand drawn, but even though the bottom pieces have slight seams visible, they are not bad seams. And that rainbowsmoke by Katyism is lovely indeed..
I hate to ask this, but what means "banksy"?

I was curious about Bansky too. Gotta love Google; here's a good url: http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.html
Thanks slikachu for opening a new door, and yes JG, your piece does look Bansky-ish. (a compliment!)

I've always loved banksy's work. he shows that grafitti can be intelligent and amusing. i get sick of seeing pointless tags around london, but when i see one of banksy's pieces, i always smile.

I have to say that I really like Banksy's works, now that I've seen them :) I actually got the idea for the realization from similar artwork. A friend of mine (weedo, here on the ec also) asked me to do a model for cutout him so that he could paint it with ease, and I liked the overall style of the piece, so I decided to use the same method here.
The Mickey Mouse Hitler idea was shamelessly stolen from late Rozz Williams, with thanks to weedo for showing me the art book ;)

Fabulous... like a Kandinsky gone wrong (or right?).

I like the crayon looking art. This one looks fun even if it isn't seemless.

I love the way the puppet thing worked out and I really love Kopaka88's slice.
