NEW YORK - ART THERAPY FOR THE DUMPÈD

By viceland

When today's featured artist Nick Gazin got broken up with a couple weeks ago, he didn't just sit as his desk listening to Black Sabbath's "Changes" over and over so that it would show up on his ichat in case the girl who broke up with him was looking. He also hooked his hand up to a pen and let his emotions doodle as they may.

An hour after the dump he had a series of drawings that traced the full trajectory of his immediate post-breakup feelings, from the initial pangs of "I feel like Galactus's throbbing, sweaty boner," through "POD-singing Marlboro thing with two tampons in his mouth and tears streaming down his face," and all the way over to "Scottish Popeye's head grafted onto the body a club-footed Ninja Turtle." We present the full set below, in order of composition, as a service to the recently dumped and as a rare glimpse into the mind of a person who is no longer going out with someone they used to be going out with.
