E.L.F. #5, "The Unbearable Suspension of the Mischievous Quartet" a.k.a. "Headed No Where!"

11x14 in., 2000

Acrylic, Ink, Color Pencil

These four little creatures are connected to one body (from which they CAN separate, if they choose). They can even grow arms and legs which are not seen in the illustration. No more than a foot high, this little booger runs about in the middle of the night and breaks into people's houses, eating all the food out of the refrigerator, using their bathrooms and leaving bodily waste in their toilets.

It is also fond of practical jokes, such as leaving a peeled banana in your slippers, or throwing dead spiders in the cereal box.

This illustration is a depiction of what has happened after they were caught. They are hanging by one of their ears and a nose, which have been pierced and threaded. For their childish deeds, they are doomed to remain suspended in mid air for one year, after which they will have to do six million hours of community service.
