Description
this was inspired by an old poem i have written. like over ten years ago. i did a rough translation of the poem, and i'm suspecting now that it was originally written in English. why? lookie:alice is dead
she took me to her room
full of black roses
and the scent of a recent bloom.
she said she's dead
she's happy
no chains no head.
and it surely doesn't rhyme in Finnish. or then it is just weird.
it is all about losing a friend. and no, she didn't die.
and yes, i have a big head too.

pen & ink, watercolours

thanks.
well, she lost her head a long before she died. you know, it's like evolution, if you don't use something, it becomes unnecessary and slowly disappears.

I like the way you did the hair. And for some reason this makes me think of The Shinning.

I think i can relate to your poem right now, perhaps im readng it in my own way. As usual i love the drawing, and i like how theres a poem to accompany your thoughts.

thanks.
i think reading it in your own way is good. i don't like putting ideas to people's heads, i want people to use their own imaginationa to see things in their own way.

I think thats a nice way to make art, that way everyone "owns" a little piece of the artwork, they can see themselves in it or whatever, i like knowing how the artist intended it too though

Thanks.
Errr... I just used an excessive amount of water/not really that much water at all, with a really small brush and I did small areas at a time. Basically everything you're not supposed to do with watercolours. This is also done on watercolour paper, which made the inking kinda hellish, but watercolours don't look so nice on bristol. :/
Test it first on somewhere else.

I love the details, and the poem is haunting and very well protrayed with this picture

Very nice. The poem is nice also, and it sounds kind of funny to me

Hehe, most of my poetry is kinda funny, because I'm not a good poet. But I'm getting there... perhaps.
Thanks.

Tästä päättömyydestä tulee mieleen parin vuoden takainen Kiasma-näyttely Lainahöyhenissä, jossa afrikkalainen taiteilija oli tehnyt afrikka-näkökulmia länsimaisista kauneusihanteista. Hän oli mm. ottanut jonkun kuuluisan historiallisen naisen muotokuvan malliksi, tehnyt siitä patsaan, jolle oli pukenut afrikkalaisheimolaisvaate-kuosiset vaatteet, siis sama leninki, mutta "väärästä" kankaasta, ja vieläpä jättänyt naispololta pään pois. Patsaan nimi oli tietenkin "(Henkilön nimi, jota patsas esitti) ilman päätä". En muista, mikä historiallinen henkilö oli kyseessä, joten siksi nuo sulkeet...
Hmm. Itsekin olen kirjoitellut joitain vanhoja runojani paperilappusilta tietokoneelle muistiin. Mutta ne runot olivat 99% englanniksi. Ehkä ne paranisivat, jos riimittelisin ne suomeksi! Tuskinpa sentään...

Minä nyt en oo mikään runoilija ja mun suurin osa runoista on aika köpöjä. Mutta näköjään niitä voi silti kuvittaa.
Kiitoskia.

But it really might be that I have written it originally in English. I did that at some point.
Thanks.
