"solitude is out of fashion", from The Rise of The New Group Think. Using a quote from an article greatly helps me focus my energies into one straightforward idea that can more easily be communicated, which is one of my biggest struggles. I'm not sure this really easily communicates anything though, and I'm wondering more and more every day how abstraction and communication can work together successfully in an illustration. I'm slowly getting somewhere.
and this is a detail from an oil painting of a cover illustration for Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte (which is a novel I adore):
without even explaining it to him, my painting techniques teacher told me he thought the blackbirds were an indication of her sanity/emotional state, which is what I had sort of intended. Also, this is a pretty nasty photo, which I shouldn't even be showing to the world until I can get a better one. oh well, I must be too eager to share my trials and tribulations with whomever.
