Very cool illustration!

Jessie said...

Beautifully stylish, with a hint of Egon Shiele too?xx

Ana said...

I haven't noticed it before Jessie, but maybe there's some subconscious reference to Egon Shiele there too. I really like his work :)

Marcus said...

Hya heya ana! I'm always up for a little PRB! Don't you love the preraphaelites and i t's a crackup one of them ran off with John Ruskin's missus! Unless you were John Ruskin of course :(

Oh you've captured the otherworldiness of this, the bird is a magical touch, and she really is floating, isn't she/

D'you happen t o like the Lasy of Shallot by any chance :)

Es ese un Quetzal?

Tomás Serrano said...

Muy bueno, y con ese fondo gana mucho el dibujo. Me interesa saber cómo lo has hecho...

Hey, now what was I going to say? Oh your English is always perfect! Sublimely. It's probably too perfect and makes mine feel bad. But my first language is Australian !

Oh I do eyeballs for a living. When a child comes in that is classically beautiful quite often it's because their eyes are set very far apart.

Often they have convergence problem (they cannot turn their eyes in because the angle the eyes swing in is larger and they get tired) this causes reading problems for them.

So preraphaelite women were probably great for throwing spears but lousy for working in libraries (wish I could spell that hah)

thank you for being so complimentary :)

see you!

Andrew Finnie said...

good point on animie. Yep you are right I think, but oit's interesting because baby's are trained to follow eyes and the working end of a mother's breast - which look very similar if things are blurry. So maybe it just says something - that we are all just babies :)

Vicki Smith said...

Very provocative! I really like the bird, too.

Missy said...

i have seen Jan Švankmajer's, yes, and i liked it!

As for Tim Burton's... well, uhmmm... i dunno, i'm not a big fan of him, actually...
when i saw his version, i just thought: oh it's so Tim Burton.
