Artist's Comments

Had to put this up as this was bloody WEIRD!
I haven't seen this drawing in 8 years and I have been looking for it EVERYWHERE!. I remember doin it when I started dating the missis, sittin in her flat til stupid o' clock for some coursework in tec.
Earlier on I was looking at the framed 'Minard Castle' [link] and I was complaining at how badly framed it was. I remembered that another smaller frame was used for it and it had been a rush job to get it in for a show.
So I cut round the tape, pulled the pins out and lifted the back off to get the drawing out and bring it into the framers. When I find the drawing that eluded me stuck to tha fuckin BACK OF IT!
NUTTY! Great to see it again. Weirdest thing is, you can really see how my work now has been subconsciously influenced by work that I consider to be in a totally different world of thinking at that stage.

Pencil on A2 paper
Used duotone on photoshop to get rid of the colour that occured from using no flash and artificial light, which didn't look bad, but this looked better.

Beautifully detailed and shaded. I love the style and tones. Great atmosphere.

Yeah I keep seeing them too. I would still change your meds though just to be on the safe side. Cos what I see is the ancient souls of warrior squirrels and their tormentors frozen in time. Dont know what your excuse is.
