Artist's Comments
The art I grew up with was illustrations out of children's books or magazines. Nothing ever looked like a photograph. I think that shows a lot in my work. I have tried to make my manips look life-like or "real" but I always add textures to it or distort something because "real" just doesnt look right to me. So, this is the art I remember as a child. I did a lot of painting of my own on this one.

It does look like an illustration from a children's book, and you did a fantastic job on the painting.

I write the words that come and go
That swirl around all to and fro
Inside my head, where they scream and shout,
Pushing and shoving to find a way out
to wind up on paper for all to peruse-
interpret my words any way that you choose.
No, just taking more time. Doing more of my own painting instead of just cut and paste.
I am glad you like it.

I don't remember the books I read as a child, but the ones my kids read now. I look at this and I can see it as an illustration in one of their books...I don't think I truly realized just how talented you are. I'm looking at the pieces individually, the original stock pieces, and it dawns on me...the hat, the hair, the wings, the fish, the rocks, the background...that's all YOU?!?!
