Voodoo Dolls

So, for my current project (illustrating Keret's Lieland) I played around with Calico and made these suggestive characters (pictures to come). A friend of mine, Arjun, said how they reminded him of Voodoo dolls. This is an interesting idea because like in the story, lies hurt people and I can imagine as every lie is told a pin is placed into the doll (calico and pins link nicely too).
