The Book of Elephangaroo

Pan’s Labyrinth

 This is a 5x7 postcard which will shortly be finding it’s way to Washington.  I drew it at work on my lunch break, I hope she likes it!

I need to draw flowers.  My brain has other ideas.  It’s had too many days off, I fear.

Butterfly Insanity

A little before and after.  I had actually called the card complete but after a while, it started to bug me.  So I drew a flower.  And that flower needed another flower…and it sort of snowballed on me!!  Anyhow, I like it.  It’s badass.  image

What’s in my Sketchbook?

I thought it would be fun to post my unfinished work here.  This week, I mostly drew skeletons.  I did some other stuff but this was the only one I hadn’t coloured yet.  It’s all naked.

You hurried past me the other day, wearing your face.
I felt nothing, like I did for any other stranger on the sidewalk. 
And I rejoiced.

Your faith is terrifying. 
I can’t be sure I can live up to it.

Gloria was a stranger with an infectious laugh.  She didn’t know me, but she knew what I needed to hear.
It’s yours. Never forget that.

Their contention is contagious.
And I’m coming down with flu-like symptoms.

You set me on fire and watched me burn.  It wasn’t until I had crumbled into ash that you offered to put me out.

KNOWING
The best part about the film Knowing was the scene where the sun is starting to go crazy hot and a forest catches on fire.  A moose in flames erupts from the inferno, shaking it’s horns in a frenzy and the other forest animals follow suit.  Here’s the thing.  That moose wasn’t the first animal out of there.  It was actually following a furry caterpillar on the right of the screen.  That caterpillar is a hero, man.  And the moose stole his glory.
Apart from that, Knowing is more or less a film about a bunch of aliens who wait 50 years to collect a couple of kids and some rabbits.

While largely mistaken as encouraging, these words rang a little on the ominous side to me.  Curse you training modules for feeding my office paranoia!
