I came up with this idea and thought it might be fun to illustrate it. By adding eyes on the wall just above a socket, it looks like a man wearing gas mask! Now, i hear it crying: I can't BREATHE!!! I need a PLUG!

The switches are marvelous, but the eyes above them don't do them justice.

cooool

nice concept

Hooray Monkey on Jan 30 '08

Great idea!

Manta on Jan 30 '08

Agree with Nomad, winning idea but the eyes look a bit mismatched, esp. the suffocating ones.
Nice though!

the middle one looks so angry. that is the one that looks a little off to me.......

those halftones... arrrrgh

they're awesome.

pickledbib on Jan 30 '08

nicely done...

yeah the eyes are so much different than the plugs/sockets.

barbaraemanuel on Jan 30 '08

I like that the eyes are on a different line style, because it makes them look like they were drawn on the wall. Like, the plugs/sockets are real, and someone drew the eyes for a laugh

$5!

Very cool

barbaraemanuel , you're absolutely correct! If you guys have ever noticed the eyes were purposely drew in different style and slightly darker color to make it looks as it's a kid's drawing.
I still remember I loved to draw on the wall and drove my mom mad when i was a kid!

Frith on Jan 30 '08

i know very little about art: I love the idea that it's a kids drawing but the style doesn't feel that way to me... What about trying something slightly different??

Moegopher on Jan 30 '08

I'd buy this in a heart beat. $5

It's a cute concept, but I can't help but see a woman's neckline in the eyebrows of the right set of eyeballs. So naturally, I saw boobs.

Willish on Jan 31 '08

I also think the eyebrows on the third outlet look like a woman's neckline and shoulders and therefore the eyes look like breasts.
I do think it is a very unique and interesting idea and I am in love with the design for that reason.
I think the execution of the eyes could be done with a similar style to the plugs to help decrease the likeliness of misinterpretation.
However, even if that does not change I would certainly consider buying this.

Zackary on Feb 01 '08

williamtaft on Feb 01 '08

neat idea, great drawing

againstbound on Feb 01 '08

great one!!

viennagirl on Feb 02 '08

i love this. specially the second set, because it can either be seen as, oh no your going to die i feel sorry for you, or haha i have a mask and you dont, sucker
