Add a few little people, and a still life becomes a fantasy world. Love the coffee pot and the spoon.

does this have anything to do with the "spoonful of cinnamon" dares? I love your little people... checking out your website.

I just learned about that phenomenon recently! This one was a follow up to a drawing I did of a friend who got stuck in a sugar jar. I knew he needed another sweet thing to be attracted to so I had a group of 4 (all him) running out to steal all the cinnamon they could and then run off with it in their arms and shirt.
If you look in the painting, the one in the green shirt is upset because the first 2 were selfish and took off after they got theirs.

He really loves his sweets, sadly to his own detriment.

I've seen the trailers for it. It looks amazing, but I'm a little hesitant. My brain is easily influenced, and I get worried when something so similar to my idea comes out. I think it looks too good not to watch it though. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah it is really good. What do you mean easily influenced, in way to think someone stole your idea?

The opposite. I'm afraid of any future work I may do would start to look too similar to their art.

Your people in the wrong environment are really impressive.
You are a great artist.

Thank you! I like the way you put it. I've never thought of them being in the "wrong environment".

I agree! The idea of alienation is also intriguing. I would have listened.
