Description ...and I find myself back here again.

Do they talk? I don’t think they talk. I imagine these odd, undifferentiated little creatures, somewhere between penguins and marmots, shuffling between their tiny homes and communicating entirely in gestures.

But, as usual, I could be completely wrong.

8 x 8, mixed media over collaged paper on board. Original is for sale and ready to hang, or can be framed--drop a line for pricing and availability. Prints are available, as always, at Red Wombat Studio: [link]

They have very tiny wings... it should be uncomfortable to pick their noses...

I imagine them just staring at people in dead silence at random times after appearing out of nowhere. Maybe they communicate via ESP

They remember me the spirits from the movie Sen to Chihiro (in EUA Spirited Away, i guess)

I like it =]

I think they can talk...that's why they wear masks. So they aren't expected to. Very nice work.

They look slightly like plague doctor masks.

I can't stop staring at them... I kinda think they're just standing there staring back... it's a little bit creepy and a little bit sad...

TTBranwen [2010-09-09 21:32:09 +0000 UTC]

They remind me of Kudama, as depicted in Princess Mononoke. Except yours have the mystic of masks which gives them a slightly eerie feel, and they're more adorable for it I think.

Gorgeous! I love the way the color is built up, especially in the reds and pinks. I'm also quite endeared to these little characters now -- I think you've done a fabulous job of creating believable characters without an ounce of information about them. Reminds me of the sort of thing you'd see in a Miyazaki film.

Didja ever see "Spirited Away"? They probably just say "Uh, uh." But in high-pitched, adorable voices.

Every part of me wants to know how the hell you come up with this stuff. It's fun! I like the rough edgest and the pastel colors. They pair together far better than I thought they would.

I imagine they communicate mostly though interpretive dance, with copious amounts of beak bobbing and weaving.
