These were the first drawings I did of the Heidi Klum worm suit. We were looking for a direction , so I was just playing around here. I was still thinking 'stylish and sexy', so these resemble inflatable fetish fashion ware.

I was hired by Mike Marino of Prosthetic Renaissance to draw designs for @heidiklum 's worm costume which debuted on Halloween night. This was the final drawing I did when a direction was decided upon, though there were some interesting explorations, which I'll share soon.

This surfaced from a few years back. If I’m in an unfamiliar house, I’ll often imagine what the most frightening thing I could see in the dark might be. This was a flayed man crawling up the stairs towards me. Reaching the summit, he expresses himself.
