sorry I kept you waiting. the image is about papaver rhoeas that simply dies if you try to take it with you.
I've been busy all week end riding my bike in the wilderness, untill the bike decided she would rather stay at the sea, 300km from home, than bring me home after a 1800km trip. A reminder of another fleeting moment of lightness that ended in embarrasment.
this will be another busy week. after two HDD crashes and lots of important data loss, it looks like I entered bad karma with technology for some reason. technology will decieve.
last week's illustration was what I considered my most achived work so far on this blog, and yet it didn't cause one single comment or reaction. this is confusing. not only for the obvious ego bruise, but it questions my very research in art. what if my final purpose as a creator is only destined to meet nothing more than indifference ? not good for my abandon neurosis.
anyway. I can see the sun rising above my screen now on what should be a good day with a lot of work to do, a car with no brakes to fix, some groceries to do and some friends for food and vodka. have a good one.
ok, it's more mythology than legendary really. throw me a stone. thank you Asja again for the textures. thank you Elysian Fields for the music.
I hope our american visitors will appreciate the fact that I went against my nature and hid the boobies. suddenly I'm not so sure. should I explain who/what medusa was?
this week's topic asked for some good ol' school wacom scratching. I googled to find some picture with the right pose but ended up sketching it from scratch (a-ha) I used some of Asja 's wonderfull textures. I suggest you'd visit her art blog. It's full of splendid photos and paintings. other than that. well... I need a beer and a good night sleep. I'll spend the evening listening to the new album by Elysian Fields untill my head spin, and next evening with Elysian Fields.
