Oh, I hope I haven't made you feel that I was dismissing the digital format! I didn't mean to. I was only wondering because I've seen your drawings and love seeing your hand. I was only being a dum-dum by asking. Forgive my foot-in-mouth comment.

 

[Iain]

No-no-no! It wasn't dumb. The question echoed - seemed to echo - my own doubts about the validity of what I am doing. I still haven't resolved the question. In the meantime...

Pleasr excuse the delayed response. No excuse.

 

[Artyczar]

Red and black=good! I like this one very much.

 

[Iain]

Thanks Art. I also like the combination of green and red, which - somewhat arbitrary - stems from being shown a soldier"s uniform as a child.

Still Screaming

 

[Enyaw]

Red maze works well, but the scream is too direct .. you are supposed to steal discreetly.

 

[snoball]

I like the scream. Made me smile.

 

[joe1It]

I hadn't seen scream at first

 

[Artyczar]

I like the scream because of the bubbly, pastel colors...it made it humorous to me. Nice play on it!

 

[Iain]

Yes, those are the reasons why I like it, too. I have enjoyed producing these. Thanks everyone for commenting.

Klee-like?

 

[E.J.H.]

I also like the scream, the colors are great, and I like the strong 3d effect of the image.
It has a bit of a slapstick feel to it for me, as Arty also remarks humerous; the scream seems to be caused by something comical rather than dramatic or horrible.

 

[Iain]

Yes, I agree, EJH. I think the title betrays that, too. Thanks for the comment.

 

[snoball]

I like the last one too, Paper Moon Disassembled.

 

[Iain]

Thanks sno and thanks for the title. I like it. I have a couple of similar pieces I will post since you like this one.

Shrews are teeny. They can be a couple inches, and they have razor sharp teeth. Fast little things.

Yes, they're smaller than mice, have pointier snouts, and have very high metabolism; hence they have voracious appetites. Some species are venomous. They are not rodents.

Not to mention hilarious mating habits;

 

[Artyczar]

Yes! very Klee-like. I love it, and love sno's title for it.

 

[Iain]

Cheers, Art! This one was done around the same time as Paper Moon Disassembled (what'S wrong with his eye?)

Under Investigation (Holes)

Filling up.

The food caddy by the back door one morning recently.

 

[snoball]

WOW! Someone was hungry!!

 

[Iain]

We suspect it was a Grey Squirrel, rather than a rat, as we originally jumped to conclude.
