Description We all think they don't know

We all hope they never notice

And when we see it, we pretend we didn't

Because the past is never gone

Who are we trying to fool?

The one who stands next to you...or yourself?

I love this, The tension between them is perfect. Something's going on between the girl on the right and the guy on the left

I love how you can't get a clear view of any of their faces. It's mysterious.

1. amazing!

2. how much did you pay for your tablet and what type is it?

3.i interpret it as

everyone is trying to find love in all the wrong places just to be with someone that they dont even know or understand to the full extent and yet there is a powerful attraction to do that......but hey im 13 what da hell do i know?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

thehiddensapphire In reply to GRAYgoose [2009-02-06 08:38:22 +0000 UTC]

1. Thank you.

2. It cost 2500 RMB, i.e. Chinse dollar four years ago. I think that approx 350 USD?
It's a wacom intuos, I think it should be cheaper now that cintiq is out.

3. mmm..that's one interpretation I never heard before. Kudos to that. Mine, fundamentally is that you break up with your partner,but you never truely let go for reasons one or another. There are things you prefer to forget but can't. Even when you move on. But you pretend that you have. So , are you trying to make a show for your current partner, or are you just trying to convince your self, that you've put the past behind ?

GRAYgoose In reply to thehiddensapphire [2009-02-06 23:01:21 +0000 UTC]

im gonna see if i can afford one...well your interpretation reminds me of my partner...i still really like her but i am trying to date others just to make me feel better and hide...and it works really well right? i need to get into using one..

Krysta-Nightheart In reply to thehiddensapphire [2008-08-29 00:17:04 +0000 UTC]

You're welcomee.
I thought that it looked like the girl on the right was seeing someone who she didn't expect to ever see again, possibly and ex or someone who she had a bad experience with. The man on the left had a smirk on his face like he is happy with the reaction that he got from her. The man on the lefet on the other hand seems to know who the man on the left is and has his hand on the girls shoulder like he is trying to lead her away, maybe she is his girlfriend, and if the line that you can see is his mouth then he doesn't look very happy at all. While this is all going on the girl on the left seems possibly oblivious to whats going and is looking up at the man to ask why he is smiling.
...Wow I didn't realise that that was going to turn out that long

I was tired...gimme a break!!

The guy's hand seems to be painted into the shoulder of the girl's uniform..just wanted to point that out.

And the message this picture is sending to me is that the boy is trying to get the girl away from people to comfort her, since it looks as if she just went through a traumatic experience.

SoulAgainstSoul In reply to Kalidra [2008-03-07 09:57:09 +0000 UTC]

The hand is coming from inside her hair, not her uniform.

x] I'm sorry I had to point that out. It's very beautiful, thehiddensapphire.

I just thought it looked fairly obvious that it was coming from the hair, is all.

I don't think there's anything new I could write. Rverybody else have said it already... Your work is incredible. I love your black and white pictures and your pencil drawings, so I don't know what to start with...
Anyway, I wish I could be as good as you.

Waaah..thank you! Don't know where to start? you've said heaps

By the way, don't wish..just do it. Wishing won't get you anywhere. It just come with practice. Practice. And practice. If you love it enough..you'd be good
