Artist's Comments

Real quick post!

This is the sketch I'm working on for my current Illustration 2 project, which is about text illustration. Mine is more the wiggly-doodly text incorporation kind of text illustration.. but I think it counts, some of the examples we were shown were pretty scrambly o o;.

I wanted to put it up because I really think it's cute, in a demented kind of way. It's pretty scrawly and I'll be amazed if anybody can really see what's going on, but the phrase I'm illustrating is "May you live in interesting times"

Interestingly drawn in open canvas, because my pencil sketches got all stupid and smudgy.. (because i was working too small)

I'd love to see you colour this.

Is there a particular reason who chose an ancient Chinese curse for your project, or was it merely for the fact that it sounds cool?

It is the first in a set of 3 curses, that increase in severity. Those 3 curses are:

May you live in interesting times.
May you come to the attention of those in authority.
May you find what you are looking for.

it's looking really nice so far. Just one thing though: the ellipses seem off. i would especially fix the one with the text conforming to it, as it receives more attention. the circle in the center of the sketch seems so well drawn, that the ellipses need the same attention so they don't become distractions.
