The flags were always there, but I don't think anyone wanted to admit it. They wanted him to grow and heal from all that happened. He did, too, once upon a time.
Younger Gurgulas again. Quiet kid, sweet but off from the get-go and the tragedy surrounding him only served to twist his mind, even as it toughened his resolve. He was pretty sensitive, though, once upon a time.
Weird synapsid-protomammal-thing with vague deer + raccoon (not shown here) + reptile + bug traits (also not shown here). Skipped grades, was in high school maybe even college when he was like 12. Got his brain chip in a little early, but never liked the extra arm ports until he was grown. Cut up dead animals out of boredom. Bottom pictures are all 10-13. Top left is like 8, top right is 15. I'll post later college/ graduate n' masters Gurgs later.
BG image for first image is Mike Kelley's Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites, aka one of my favorite sculptures like ever. So viscerally upsetting to me, sometimes. Do check it out. I want to make weirder art, too.
