Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

This delightfully cheeky illustration from my friend — designer, illustrator, author, and provocateur Mirko Ilić arrived in my inbox about a week ago to a big smile.

There’s something slightly unnerving about this image in my mind. The media (TV media here) as masseuse, but perhaps also as ever-present observers and collectors, forever peering over our shoulders; like a constant voice in our head or shadow we can’t evade. All media changes our environment and thereby also changes us.
