| Immovable, Illustration Friday. Originally posted September, 2010 |
The past few weeks away from participating in Illustration Friday's challenges were spent tending to some other things that were piling up here. How fitting that in those two weeks, the themes were "Silence" and "Octopus." Sometimes it just works out best to remain silent, not to say (or post anything) as in "If you can't say something nice..." etc. I really felt strongly about not posting anything, not that I was going to toss about any unkind words here. And during those past couple of weeks, it would have been good to be like an octopus, eight- tentacled to deal with the projects I had going while the blog ironically came up empty handed again.
So today I decided that rather than taking a third week off, this was going to be my "Throwback Tuesday," a good day to re-post an oldie from a few years ago, re- purposing, multi tasking an existing piece. Sort of like how reheating leftovers is no trouble, this one was still waiting on ice to resurface in another form...An easy way to come up with something when the heat is on!
Beautiful illustration :)
ReplyDeleteI like your thought process Michele! I hope you were busy with fun and fulfilling projects. The turtle is adorable.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your post Michele, he's such fun and I love the little cactus. I hope you are keeping your head above water with work.......if not 8 arms may well be very useful. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should show some old art too? I always love turtles, but I hope this one figures out how to turn over again. Completely understand when other things in life take precedence. Hoping you're having fun with your other projects!
ReplyDeleteThat poor guy is definitely in trouble! I really like the turtle's expression of desperation...perfectly captured.
ReplyDeletewell done. reheating, always a good idea in a pinch!
ReplyDeleteOh, poor creature! And the cactus is adorable. Very good picture! :)
