These drawings are 10" x 8" and each is titled and signed "Mary Ryan 1-75". Not sure if these drawings are conte crayons, markers, etc., but are hand drawn and colored.
I have half a dozen of these but not sure where the others are. I have had these for many years, a thrift shop find, and vaguely recall that one of them suggested that Mary was a student, possibly in medical school (?). My memory is not too clear. These have been in storage for a long time. I just happened to come across them, recently.
Seems inspired by the illustrations in Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" or "Alice In Wonderland ".
Or an acid trip! Thanks for your comment, mikelv85!
kwqd. Very cool. };-)
I especially like the one titled something like "DEVIATED SEPTUM ABOARD PENTAPED ???????"
Google is my friend: ETHMOID.
Thanks for your comments, keramikos!

kwqd, You're welcome. :-)
I only latterly realized that all of the drawings have labels or titles suggesting the artist had a background in medicine:
ADOLESCENT FEMALE TURBINATE ADULT MALE POLYP
AGGRESSIVE STEROID SUPPRESSING INFANTILE POLYP
DEVIATED SEPTUM ABOARD PENTAPED ETHMOID
Yep, kearmikos! I think she was a medical student. One of the other drawings had an inscription that suggested that, but I do not remember what it said. I have had these in storage for around 20 years and just came across these three..
I loved them all the more after reading the “fine print” below the critters and learning the artist was a medical student.
If she became a doctor, she probably brings humor and comfort to her patients.
Thanks, kivatinitz, Daisy1000, Watchsearcher, and vcal!
i don,t know this , but i would pay top dollar for this + far out
Thanks for your comments, Waki! If I find the others, I will post them, too.
Thanks for loving my drawings, Cisum!
