Ohhh, so beautiful and funny and gorgeous. I want to be right there too (probably cowering under the blankets too!). What wonderful work - words and pictures. I love it. Big grin now :-) Thank you! xx
WOW. !!!! There are illustrations which only illustrate ... (is it a redundance?) But there are illustrations, which have "their own life" They do not need a text to be mere companions. These illustrations are illustrations that "say" ...it tell us something, with a graphical language, without words. This illustration is one of them. For me, the wonderful, the amazing thing is when an artist creates his/her own language (Perhaps this is the ultimate goal of an artist, express her art in her own language) but ... but ... when is a language so clear that we can all understand what the artist wants to say, the artist can be satisfied. He/she closed the circle. And I, modestly think, this is the case, with this illustration, you closed the circle:
-Idea, -Development of the idea, -Working using your skills and knowledge -Final result (Illustration) -Spectator, getting the idea (spectator smiling) :)
A trick?! Maybe for those who have the natural talent for storytelling.:D What a beginning of a story! It makes the imagination work and reach fantastic, unknown worlds... But before that your extraordinary illustration has provoked it - there's so much in it! A story, characters, tension, emotions, fear and... cosiness - to be at home, getting ready to sleep and having someone to tell you "Good night!" Hedie, my dear, every time I come here I smile and feel sooooooooooo well! Thank you! xxx
