Let's play, "What is the creepiest part of this illustration?"

An astonishing collection of ads from Iran can be perused HERE.  Go look!

That drawn-on smile isn't help~ing...

Oh my god.

This is actually the poster for a horror movie, yes?

The writing's on the wall, and her fingernails of doom will carve bloody trails in your face...

Mmm, makes me thirsty!

I'm gonna go with the fact that girl appears to be looking at someone for approval with some serious consternation. Like she'll get yelled at if the Smiley-Face isn't judge up to par.

Does the hand belong to the girl? It would seem to be one long arm. Or is it actually the jar's own hand?

[write-light.livejournal.com]

XD Stop making it creepier! :D

[seminarist.livejournal.com]

I didn't even say anything about the jar's bleeding icy brains, did I?

Brains

The bloody Ice Cubes are a nice effect.

The jug of Kool-Aid does look more Jack-o-lantern than Kool-Aid Man. Let's hope Kool-Aid Man doesn't bust through our walls yelling, "Oh, yeah!"

I am interested to see that she apparently drew the smile from right to left, just as she would if she were writing in Arabic. To me it seems more natural to draw the smile starting on the left and swiping to the right.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

She's drawing as if writing in Farsi (r-l, like Arabic). Very good observation!

I can't decide if her expression IS the creepiest thing, or if it would be creepier if she were smiling outright.

O_o

She looks like a stroke victim.
