Stranger Than Fiction...

Never let him walk by without studying his proportions.  You know who I am talking about.  The man you have to look twice at, even though you know it's wrong.  He looks like a cartoon.  The man in the shape that you couldn't make up, but stands there before you, real as anything.  It's like the pattern in the tile floor, the marble lines, or the ceiling bumps when the light stretches them across the top of your room, that looks like a hippopotamus, balancing on the last bit of rock, like a stranded polar bear.  The pieces of truth that are always stranger than fiction.  Don't let them pass. Keep them.  This man was about seven feet tall and the strangest shaped person I have seen in some time.  Here is a sketch I threw down on the iPad using the app Paper by 53, and the drawing I turned it into later.  Still needs some reference point to emphasize his height.  Later. Enjoy.
