That's really great! It makes me both want to go grab my watercolors and not go to the dentist at the same time. Well done!

A very excellent drawing! What a great concept. Although the string to the rook of the mouth makes me wince just a bit. Love the way you draw.

Mercy! I love your art, but this actually looks rather painful! At least for the man with the apparent fishing line stuck in the roof of his mouth.

Reminds me of the *flip-topped head* from the old Oral B commercials. Now it looks as though you've got a *flip-topped tongue.* Hilarious.
