Description
This is an illustration I did for an exhibition at uni where the students taking part were from our uni and another in Japan. I thought there might be a trip to Japan involved. there was not.They didn't really get it though anyway probably because the interpreter didn't get it, its a very english sort of thing to be going on, but they really liked the image. Basically its me when i was little saying I want to go to the Moon, but my mum isn't really listening and is moaning I'm not going to the moon til i finish my tea...or maybe it only makes sense to me! I kept to black and white, just because I hadn't done that for ages! The theme was Places and Spaces we'd never been, so I looked at obviously the Moon but also thinking of imagination and worlds in worlds and stuff. Like the woodlouse his world is within our world...and stuff
WAAAAAH I was just checking my account this morning, scrolled down and there it is on the Daily Deviations, how exciting!!
Thanks most of all to Sarah for suggesting it
Thanks for faves of course, i'm so happy!

It is my favorite time. The only time I catch moments of feeling at ease. The moon is much more beautiful than the sun.
You're very welcome.

i do love our Moon, its very underrated!
very tranquil and you can see all the craters and 'seas' on a clear night... the sun just burns your eyes..but then without the sun we wouldn't be able to see the Moon.....or live lol

The moon's orbit is very slowly moving away from us. Eventually, it will leave our gravity. Without her gravity, our planet's life will be nearly obliterated.

It'll be millions of years, if I remember correctly. We'll kill this planet ourselves long before then.

Oh, this is similar to me when I was little, getting told I couldn't go out and play until I finished my dinner or some such thing. And I really feel that leaving it in black and white adds to mood of the piece.

i think we've all had the same experience...it must be a special parental rule to say these things!
Glad you like it, i used black and white as i wanted it to be quite striking but still magical

FurryMink In reply to Mystra-Inc [2010-01-15 01:41:23 +0000 UTC]
I think it just goes in some parental rule book we don't know about. X3 And yep, the black and white did give me that feel.
