oh I see



The first piece is the final composition, but I will be painting them as two separate paintings. I'm really interested in what you think it's about. Before I give it away, what did you think of initially?


These are the next in the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle series. I'm straying farther and farther away from the book. It's beginning to really bore me.

for the last post:
The second one is the best because it is clearly conveying the mood and isolation of the story, even if you didn't want it to. The others feel more decorative and forced, where the second just instantly does what it needs to do. Her hands look awfully small though!

for this post:
I think of rebirth-- also I get the feeling of changing places. I assume the boy and the girl are consistent through the pieces and that the girl begins as depressed. The boy struggles to bring her through it and succeeds, but only by sacrificing his own happiness.
OR. OR.
They're in a relationship and the girl breaks up with him and is especially happy about it. But I hope that's not it because it'd be BORING.

It's a rape

You should paint in oil

I kinda took it as some sort of a breakup, with the girl being the one more in control of her emotions and the boy being more hurt.

A girl, lost in her own isolated world. A person returns to her life. Flood of memories rush to mind, unwanted ones.

Hm. INTERESTING.

When I drew this, I was thinking of each panel independently. So, the people are all different. I was mulling over the idea of the 'individual,' and the strange circumstances that bring these people together and drive them apart.

So, you guys weren't too far off. 'Cept Eric- it is not a rape.
