This was based on a word project where we had to do five illustrations based on a given word...mine was youth which made me want to cry. BOR-ING! Give me the ugly and the old any day. Anyway, I don't know why I'm putting these up, I HATED the project, HATED the finished piece and the whole thing was a mess...but I feel a bit sorry for them...little, terrible characters that are going nowhere. I decided to base my pictures on songs that had some relation to or contrast to the theme of youth. I thought I had planned it out quite carefully too, but I ended up doing it the night before and hadn't used watercolour since Jesus was a boy and had forgotten what to do...boohoo-hoo! They're the type of pictures I HATE .
The snowman is based on the super sexy Leonard Cohen (rawr) poem "A thousand kisses deep"...it doesn't REALLY relate to youth, it's mostly about an old man and how he can't kneel for his woman any more (depending on what version you read...), but it's one of my favourite poems ever and it was either illustrate the snowman or the "perfect porn aristrocrat"...I'm not sure what she'd look like, so I stuck with the snowman...
The crooked placement is just SUPERB!
Meh...I can't actually bear to put the other poor bastards up!
Put them up! I love the little blue dog so much!
