This was inspired by an Art Nouveau style Russian Poster (it had a female instead of a male victim). I have no idea what the poster was for as I do not read Cyrillic. I liked the flow of the tentacles and the simple yet powerful image. I couldn't think of a better title so it is "Sushi's Revenge". 8 1/2 x 11 on Bristol paper, Micron pen, Acrylics and watercolor colored pencil. Picture 31
Well well well, I can finally comment, I really like this piece, so much that I would buy it if I get to see you in person again. Great pose, almost the everything is perfect on the surface, but tortured below by the tentacles of worries and sin. Great piece. -russ-
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting take on the picture. Hope this dosn't refect your life and problems. Glad you like it. And what do you mean IF you get to see me in person again? We hope to come out and visit in June.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Russ that there is interesting symbolism here! I held my hand up to see only above-water and then again for below, and the contrast is interesting. The expression on his face is perfect, chilling when taken with the picture as a whole. (And I love the title! :)
ReplyDeleteno akirashima said; do i need to say anything here. or will my sounds of gasping for breath suffice. YOU KNOW I WANT A COPY OF THIS! also not sure if i want to be the octopus or the boy. either would be nice. NO there are no deep sins here ... Yet. there is something deep here but i think it is pleasure not pain. at least in my universe to others they seem to see some sort of darkness i guess in the face but i see the kind of on the edge of mind blowing anticipation. of something unexpected emotionally. i think there is going to be a great gasp soon and not in horror.
ReplyDeleteyes, I have to agree with akirashima ... I LOVE octopi and the creatures of the deep\far realms. and you do them so well. :D
