I possess a sculpture eerily similar to this drawing. It was made 40yrs ago by a Japanese artist I knew.
You... possess it? (or does it rather possess you...?:-)

Pics?
I do not have any of it. The corner it is in is dark as well.
I would say the face on my sculpture is more revealed. The squirrely mass starts at the hairline. There is also no sinister smile, but a blank countenance. As mentioned, it is only similar. I would imagine we've had many artists do renditions of this drawing. Long ago I've even sketched feeble versions of the same idea.
