These drawings caught my eye when I was flicking through ffffffound. At first glance they look almost like photographs they are so precisely drawn.

The images are overtly sexual, you can’t help but think that but draw the comparison between mouth and vagina. The fullness of the lips and the slick saliva on the tongue all add to the sexuality of the drawings.  Despite the fact that they display nothing like nudity they have an almost pornographic quality, the female mouth has always been synonymous with sexual images, the fullness of Angelina Jolie’s pout is undoubtedly what makes her the sex symbol she is, otherwise she is just a scrawny, scary lady.

The fact that the mouth is the focus independently without makes these images have an oddly surreal, and fantastical.
Randall makes great use of the subtle range of pinks and reds around the mouth, the layers of the skin on the lips are thinner than elsewhere which makes the skin oddly translucent, the delicate shading and pigments in these drawings perfectly captures that element. The are reminiscent of the softly coloured photographs of Victorian pornography with the subtle rose and sepia tones. Everything about these images is feminine and sexy. I think there are amazing.
