This is my first submission for illustration friday. Hopefully a habit I will continue... Winter is the perfect theme to start with as I've been doing falling ladies in winter for a little while now, can't explain why they have nothing on but socks and scarves and hats.
Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall. - Salman Rushdie
ReplyDeleteAlso Salman Rushdie kisses Scarlett Johansson in her video for "Falling Down." Her homage to him I think. She's got the guts to portray herself as a bit of fake. Pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiLOQFW3X4
Just sayin.
Plus I like the highlights in your watercolor, spaces between washes, especially on the rosy butt cheeks. I do pidgeon cartoons every day... a little different than your topic. www.SepiaPainting.com Nice.
This is a fun and interesting concept. I hope to see more from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments... I checked out the video clip you mentioned but I couldn't get to Sepiapainting.com. You know what's really wierd, I never thought of my paintings as vertigo but I absolutely love that quote you mentioned, thought and memory! but what's wierd is that I never had vertigo before until today; I had to go to the Dr. for it, she says I have positional vertigo due to a virus. It should only last a few days. Funny how things relate.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere between falling and dancing - depends on how you view them. They don't seem cold - so perhaps they only need socks, mittens & scarves.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I laughed out loud... hubby wants to know what I am doing now....
