what i mean when i talk about obsessive-compulsive disorder

Sometimes mark-making on a piece of paper takes over.  I don't have much control when that happens.  There's no override switch.  Clearly it's psychological.  In this case I know the impulse was driven by malignant loathing.  It's not a real attempt at caricature.  It bears no resemblance to you-know-who.  But what can I do?  The brush was in my hand, and I couldn't stop until my weird fucked-up brain told me I was allowed to stop.  Now there's this fuckin' horror marring a perfectly usable sketchbook.  Makes me want to apologize to the brush I used.  I should mail it to someone and get it out of my house.

Takers?
