Artist's Comments

ok, me and my friends are a bunch of freaks alright? lets get over it.
Last year I didn't had any gift for my friend Mariano, a paleontology student, on his birthday, so I gave him a coupon good for a drawing... <_< like a year later he still had it on its wallet..
So, months passed by till one day he told me he had spent a day without using his thumbs. Thumbs are an interesting thing, specially for us biology freaks, because we humans think they are such and important thing, just because most animals don't have them and are supposed to allow us to develop our technology and stuff. I had also made another weird ass experiment like that only I used a blindfold ( a big, bad blindfold with some sort of black painted googles inside) for 2 days. So we agreeded to try each others anatomical deprivation experience, but he told me I wouldn't be able to draw without my thumbs. Now I've proven him wrong.
This idea gave me the chance to try drawing without thumbs AND give him his birthday present with and unique participation on his side. It was easier than I espected, there are several ways to hold a pencil without using your thumbs. Coincidentally the dinosaur he wanted me to draw months before he even had the no-thumbs thing in mind was and animal with only 1 finger on each arm, the only number it is impossible to draw without any mechanical assistance.


Che, Mariano, a ver si pasas por el taller a buscar tu dibujo <<

Yes, I've thought about this before. You can do an awful lot without thumbs. I even remember a woman on Ripley's Believe It Or Not (I think) that could do a lot of things with her feet that most people could only do with their hands.

Still, this picture is pretty amazing work for no thumbs.

Maybe we should expand this experiment. Let's see if we can create fire or spearheads without thumbs, too. I have feeling that, even if we didn't have thumbs, we'd still be able to make technology. Afterall, our fingers can oppose to the palms of our hands for grip as well.

The hardest part must have been picking up the pencil!
Looks awesome! Guess thumbs aren't that great after all.

No thumbs eh? That should be a new art style. Now try drawing with only one finger!

Very beautiful drawing, odd little bugger...
