Strange Limbs by @Shizukashi (Damon Shizukashi)

Just a quick 5 minute doodle in Photoshop, it's from a memory of my childhood brought to the surface by the fact that a bug is currently stalking me. In this room. Now.

Well, to tell all, my friends when I was roughly 10 years old were insane, but very curious. They wanted to know if a grasshopper, whose method of moving was.. eh hem.. removed.. could still move, using something like what it had before. They decided paperclips might work, and proceeded to do unspeakable things to the insect, including adding its fake limbs. I have no idea what happened to it after recess that day, but I do know it crawled/hopped/limped away from the group.

Lesson? Don't shove paperclips into insects, or any other living creature. Artwork © Copyright 2002 Damon Shizukashi
