The Road goes ever on*

This is inspired by a photo on the cover of a novel which took on the quality of a painted piece. Of paramount importance here is the will to resist over-drawing. I am often guilty of it due to a clash of two styles I employ. Sometimes, less is more.

*Some of the titles I used will be familiar because they are titles of books or references.

Her voice fell tired and spent
"My hopes and dreams, a silent heart
I carry here within" "

Thanks O'Evil Mastermind Merv!

Ahh.. My blog consists a lot of stuff that I drew over an extended period of time, thus, it is relatively easy to find some old pieces and scan them and have daily blog entries. I have actually enough entries lined up till the middle of next month in the drafts folder.

Last night, as I was trying to sleep, I have some new ideas. Cartoons for once! Dialogue is somewhere in my mind at present. I need to tone them down for fear of offending people. Anyhow, they shouldn't be too offensive I think. Let's see if I have the energy to draw them.

I'm trying to cut down on my posts from two or three a day to about one if possible. Then again, I don't know.

You're pretty prolific yourself!

AG said...

YES CARTOONS PLEASE! Ah, this is your blog, no need to tone down ^_^

i really really like this one, a departure from your usual tree/landscape drawings. XD

very very nice! sparse but detailed. nice nice!!

Thanks AG.

As for blog, I prefer not to post attacks on individuals, public figures, authority figures, establishments, large entities, I think you get the idea. I don't need the notoriety, lawsuit or vengenance from angry people and what have you.

Another thing AG, it will take me some time. Some ideas I have from last night, well, I was in a state between awakeness and sleep, it doesn't seem too fantastic as I sit to write them down this evening.

I am somewhat preoccupied these few days. I will probably get back to it sometime. When I get the mood... yeah, the angry.. whatever energy.

Firstly, I need to go catch the 'Brothers Grimm'. After all, it's Terry Gilliam! A living legend in my eyes.

well, dont take too long on your comic lolz. i'm starting to get hooked on online comics. ahh... such sweet brain food.

Chuang Shyue Chou said...

EEP! Pressure pressure. I had some ideas at work but they weren't good. Just attacks on some public figures. That wouldn't do. Heheh.

Did you not see the tiny exercise bike linked to a generator in the hut? The dwellers pedal for power, dude! Heheh.
