Pathological Gambling, Watercolour and Pen on Paper, 20cm x 30cm

Pathological gambling is an Impulse Control Disorder that causes a person to have urges that are difficult and almost impossible to resist. I chose to depict their feeling of being out of control by illustrating the Joker, a comic book icon that was driven insane and acted on his impulses, gambling to appeal to a greater audience. I chose to use watercolors to resemble the uncontrollable nature of having impulse control disorder and pen to define the details to represent the depth and starkness of these issues. To add to the tempting and consuming nature of this disorder I placed poker chips flying around and in the foreground.
