Hi, Ally Do you know what I like about you? you break the reality You place objects in the place where one would never expect to see them, you get them out of context and that is what creates the visual impact I'll tell you once again: I congratulate you!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm sure I'll keep saying for a long time :) (Thanks for your kind comment, you make me blush)
This is my posting for this week's Illustration Friday theme, Imagination. In many cultures, the raven was a symbol of communication with the imagination, and subconcious. It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.
This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
Surreal and somewhat eerie - the layered approach works well!
