Thats seems pretty twisted for a kid's drawing...
Wow... this really is twisted.
However i like how it's spelled "suiSIDE" like, a side door for jumpers.
lame, i know, but it made me chuckle.
I also like lava guy, he must be there to ensure that all the suicide jumpers (and people being pushed off the top of the building - or so it looks like) die for sure, because who can survive lava!
Looks very much like the sort of drawing crisis therapists encourage children who live in war zones or who have been through hostage situations etc. to draw. It lets them express their fears and memories in a safe medium, and provides a springboard for conversation.
Many children project their fears that the life-threatening experience may repeat itself by "embroidering" the original event in this manner. Obviously there wasn't "lava" involved, but it looks like something those Russian kids that were held hostage in the school might draw...the urge to get OUT of the situation, even at the cost of using a "suicide door", and the fear of something worse (the lava) coming.
People who think kids forget easily and live entirely in the moment without projecting into the future have forgotten what it's like to be a kid.
Hm, nice representation of the concept of being caught between a rock and a hard place. Or, in this case, 'between death by maniac and death by lava'.
Like the 'crazy' scribbled in as an afterthought.
I know if I were on that Big Tower, I'd take the Suiside door...
Aw, Maniac Man looks kind of cute and friendly, especially when compared to Lava Guy. Maniac Man even has jazz hands!
If I were you I would move, this is creepy!
OK, who is it that's saying "OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK"? Is it all the people heading toward the suiside door? Or is it the little blue person up on top?
(Also, Lava Guy has GOT to be wearing a super sut, or else he'd be fried to a crisp. OK?)
SO the new advertising is going to cover my find of the day? With no way to close the link (I tried many times)?
Thanks Quicksilver. I will be right there to buy a clothes.
I don't think it's a young child's drawing-- the handwriting is too mature, in spite of the misspellings. It looks more like a (pre(?))teen's illustration of the levels of craziness. The maniac is near the bottom of the tower, but over his "victums," perhaps people who are emotionally distraught because of the maniac, but not manic themselves. Then above that, the suicidal level of crazy, where everyone becomes standardly psychotic-- "ok ok ok ok;" however, it's not the top level of the crazy tower. Apparantly, one can be so crazy that it's beyond suicide. Lava guy must simply be a cool effect, an afterthought.
I thought it was ok ok ok ok at first too, but if you look at it from another angle, those are the "suisiders" or perhaps people the "crazy man" has thrown off the top of the building.
Whoah.
see I don't see ok ok ok, I see little people falling headfirst towards the lava.
I also find it interesting that the whole thing looks like dynamite.
@ stev:
If you place your cursor on the drawing and drag, you can get a look at the drawing in its entirety. (I found it annoying that the Find was covered in part by the ad as well.)
Oh yeah, i see it now. The 'ok's' are really people falling (or having been pushed) from the building. This is seriously disturbed. There is truly no escape from this crazy place, they're all victums.
SuiSide door friends are the best.
well, none of the orange people have taken the suiside door yet.. I think that might be a good thing.
It's only when you go up to the top of the crazy tower and get tossed off by Crazy Big that you end up in the hot lava. (but if you have hot lava boots, you'll be okay. I'm pretty sure.) Not sure how they get up there, though.
It must be Death, Doom, and Destruction Week at Found Magazine. Makes me glad I'm in my Happy Place.
Orinoco, I'm thinking that kids in the way of the War on Drugs might draw similar pictures. It doesn't necessarily mean that the kid's twisted- just that s/he has seen and experienced things that for crying out loud, KIDS should not have to endure!
Hamster had pretty much the same thought as I did about Maniac Man: "awwwww. Maniac Man is so Happy!"
A drawing like this isn't necessarily a reflection of inner turmoil; it can be a safe space to explore stuff you *don't* deal with in your everyday life.
Having said that, it's disturbing to me that the maniac is smiling and looks friendly.
Maniac man looks like a bit of a poof.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
I would feel like a victum too if I were subjected to Maniac Man's crazy jazz hand dancing. They don't even have the suisude door option - too bad the lava can't blow through the wall. I wonder if this drawing was done with the pleasant scents of cherry, blueberry and orange Mr. Sketch markers....
I think it's another drawing of a would-be video game from the mind of a semi-weird teenager.
I'm with Curious. I have a couple of boys who draw (and have drawn) bizarre, scary and sometimes violent stuff. And yet they are happy, well-adjusted kids. I remember my now-twelve-year-old drawing stuff like this when he was 4. Also dinosaurs and big machines with cool claws and gears and blades n' stuff.
The "Suiside door" (and the whole drawing) really makes me think of 9/11. I'm surprised nobody mentionned it.
Is this another video game that I am clueless about?
I think this drawing may have been done in response to some religious sermon (when I saw the lava man, I thought of the devil and hell).
Not sure how the rest fits in, but I like it.
This is almost better than "DOOM!" I heart the crazy "ok ok ok ok ok ok ok." For some reason it reminds me of Cameron from "Ferris Bueller." Anyhow.
Mr Met - jazz hands - ha!
I think some of you have TOtally forgotten what it was like to be a kid - unless you were an unusual one! They LOVE stuff like this! Don't you remember - if someone were out of school for some injury, it would be "they cracked their head open!" The grosser and scarier the better. Nothing new either - playing cowboys and indians and "scalping" your victims, etc...
Aw damn. It is little people falling to their deaths. Or is it both?
No, I guess not.
@Laure: I was surprised too, until you mentioned it.
There must be something in the genes of the blue people that makes them jump when the orange people don't. Which ones are brave and which are cowards? hmmm
This makes me feel better about the drawings my 9 year old does. Picasso had his blue period..mine is going through his "prince of darkness" period
Marie, true enough!! Kids/teens can come up with amazing stuff and as a parent, having a sense of humor has helped me not overreact.
Most preteens will draw something in response to a movie, and I am wondering what movie plot this is from. Any ideas out there?
Spam protection: What is 2012 minus 4?
looks like they are hinting to the apocolypse.
its drawings like this that make me so glad i live in chicago.
I think I stayed in that hotel once. It's in Cleveland.
Effie, to me it looks like that last blue guy on the roof pushed them off. He has his arms in that classic 'pushing other blue guys into the pit of lava to save myself' posture.
And its easier, i would think, to jump off a roof, than to open a door and jump out of it. I don't know for sure, having never been in that position.
@ Librarians- Those aren't OK's...they are people going headfirst!!!
Whoa. If I were Ryan, I would definately watch my back. Looks like he might have a psycho-neighbor. I wander if he lives in building with a big tower.
I think it is hilarious that some thought the falling-to-their-deaths blue people actually was "ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok"
The last blue guy on top, he looks like he may actually be a zombie and maybe that is how all the blue people went over...like zombies.
@ Jen ... yeah, I can see that now. But there are 7 of them ... and there are 7 figures at the suiside door ... coincidence?? I think not.
I'm just not sure what it means. There's surely some sort of mystical symbolism there.
And is the 8th blue figure (still atop the Tower) walking toward its doom? Or did he/she push the other 7 off?
Or maybe the 7 blue figures are zooming down toward Lava Guy in order to extinguish the lava.
Or maybe they're going to present another acclaimed performance by Blue Man Group.

From where he put the word "crazy", I can't figure out if the whole building is crazy, or if it's meant to signify a crazy-big tower? (The more you say or type the word "crazy", the weirder it seems, BTW.)
Everyone looks so stiff. But Maniac Man is having the time of his life !
7 Days of the week
7 Deadly sins
7 Virtues
7 Vials (plague and pestilence)
7 Wonders of the Ancient World
7 Dwarfs
7 Colors in the visible spectrum
7 bones in most mammals' necks
7 Brides for 7 Brothers....
Naaah.. Probably just a kid trying out his new pack of Crayola Big Tips.
I like the way you have to walk Upstairs to the suiside door. You really have to put some effort into it.
And it's true, they're not ok's, those poor little blue men have been Pushed into the lava.
I'd hate to think these are plans for the next big school homicide/suiside - in Hawaii.
I think the last blue guy looks like a zombie, too. I agree with Lolita...maybe they all were zombies and went over, zombie-like.
see, when i look at this, i can just imagine the accompanying sound effects this kid was making while drawing.
bubbly lava..
people pushing..
people falling..
maniac man laughing manically and/or dancing..
maybe i spend too much time with kids, but, this kid was having a ball.
and i like the whole 7 theory as well, because aside from the queue of people waiting to jump and the people falling, the victums, the blue roof zombie, the maniac man and the lava guy also make 7.. so 21 people total.
and i like the branching arrow pointing to the victums.
i must really like this find. i never comment.
:)
Bin Laden always was more of a visual communicator...
Librarians, and Girl in Cube:
I do not think that someone is saying "OK OK OK OK". I believe those are stick figures of people that were pushed off the top of the building. They are sideways stick figures. That blue guy on top pushed them off.
I like how the word "crazy" looks like fire.
i like how victums is spelled like rectums. (or sanctums or tantrums or fulcrums or...redrum)
looks like my place...
same victims...
same crazy murderer...
home sweet home.
I used to draw stuff like this all the time. Plans for my eventual villain lair. Which, for the record, I still plan to build. And it has a moat of fire with flameproof vampire sharks in it.
Kid's on the right track.
This is exactly the type of thing I used to draw when I was 10 with my friends... designing sinister forts/rollercoasters/castles.
ah the days of the pencil drawn buzz saw flaming roller coaster cars flying through a tunnel of giant swinging hammers.
The stick figures jumping off the roof look like little OK's.
Kind of has some Sept. 11th similiarities to it...
i love this found. it's probably not a kid, it's probably a bored teenager who can't draw. (sounds like me...except when i get bored, i draw faces)
but if it is a kid...
that's kind of awesome and kind of disturbing.
mostly awesome, though.
