A Drawing Contest of Sorts
Sort of like my old college dream of always having a case of pepperoni jewel thin n crispies and a box of bagel dogs in a spare freezer (dream big kid!)… I’ve always imagined a drawer full of googly eyes would just make my life better… And this bird is sorta proof! I’m also greatly entertained that you’ve rotated the hand bird almost all the way to realistic!
Man good chesire cat style striped tail and great wild thing jumping form …. my favorite bits are the “go home” on the measurement gauge! The fact that you know its Maine cause you can see Canada from here, and that something so poorly attended can actually still be going for over half a century!
So in order to remain truly transparent (and ’cause it helps explain my point) I should explain that i sit very close to this artist on a daily basis and dammit if she didn’t cheerfully and quietly narrate, each new element to this as it was created… “…and here’s the arrows coming from MT Fuji…” I mean how can you not love that! Plus that’s a damn fine stern monkey face on that dark cloud!
Judge’s Commentary – For a few simple reasons, first it tells a much more complete story than most of the others… now whether that story reads “sad blue cloud monkey poop floods mountain valley” well i think that’s up to interpretation. Second cause I know this artist has wanted to draw for a long time and finally gathered the courage to join in, and courage should generally be rewarded, and third cause those lil caterpillar tiger feet are F’ing amazing!
