Mobileears

Man with mobile phones for ears — by José Romaní

From time to time you have to imagine something different. This time, for example, I thought about what would happen if, instead of ears, we had mobile phones, and the result came to light in a mysterious way, in the shape of what seems to be a kind of Egyptian man. I am not a draftsman, so the drawing surprised me too.

On the mobile phones there are two “likes”, similar to those used on Facebook. His eyes have similarities to those of a snake. I also added two letters to the eyes: my initials, JR. There is something disturbing about seeing letters in someone’s eyes. Moreover, I would spotlight the broad lips and the curly hair on what seems to be a flattened head.
