Transferred over from September 2014.

A long time ago I saw a piece, I think it was by Swatcher, where someone took off their skin like a costume and they were an animal underneath. I immediately wanted to do something similar, but instead of cleanly coming off I wanted it to be torn away very irrevocably. Skin being cut like cloth and fur bursting forth instead of blood and tissue.

At the time I lacked the skill, time, and confidence to put such a piece to paper. I have at least mustered together the confidence, and I skipped out on playing video games with a friend tonight for the time to put this together. I’m not sure about the skill, but I’ll leave that judgement to others.
