Taking Advantage

imagined by: James Mathias

Since the age of twelve Mark Rixby Jr. looked as if he were on death’s doorstep, which in fact was as far from truth as one could reasonably get.

Once Mark turned twenty-five, he discovered that his appearance afforded him certain “perks” otherwise unavailable to a seemingly healthy man.

By the time Marky, as he was known affectionately, turned forty-five he’d molested, savagely murdered and disected over fifty children in fifteen different states. No one suspected him of any of the crimes he’d left in his wake.

His demeanor and appearance was forever pitied by those around him, leaving him—in their minds—harmless and peaceful, which in fact was as far from truth as one could reasonably get.

Drawn on printer paper with a BIC mechanical pencil, while listening to iTunes on shuffle.

Enjoy or not (Amy says it’s OK, to not) and see you tomorrow.

You know the score, keep it clean and on topic. “Spammers” & “trolls” are decimated on sight.

The picture didn’t strike me as overly disturbing until I read the text for it. sad

Yeah, it just comes out, I haven’t much control over what’s in there (points to head), I just lay it down.

His eyes were the ones that screamed ’something is wrong’ to me. And his little tiny mouth.

You are so creative.

James Mathias

Thank you Veronique, I appreciate it. He is very creepy to me, he also kind of looks like a young Fredrick Krueger, you know before he was burned by the neighborhood parents, when he was still alive. That might be where the molestation bit stems from, his overall look just screams that to me.

Although I have to say the eyes wee inspired by the cover of Aqua’s debut album Aquarium.
