Margaret Atwood’s Kidney Boy and Dr. Snit. UPDATED!

Periscope Studio — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:49:53 +0000

We read this and fell in love:
“After Twitter user @kidney_boy recommended Atwood’s books to his friend @DrSnit, Atwood said she wanted to design superhero costumes. She updated the pair every few days with her thoughts on design elements and possible superpowers, suggesting “a crown made out of painkiller pills.” One month after the initial communique, Atwood produced a full color sketch of her interpretation of “Dr. Snit” and, later, a black-and-white model sheet for “Kidney Boy.”

Some of the artists here were even compelled to draw their own versions:
UPDATE: Scroll down for two new sketches!
