I'm enjoying the practice of these little illustrations or what would you call them?? I'm not that crazy about my little people (see yesterday's post also ) but I can evolve. I think everyone has their own unique little people. Like I can draw other people's people, and I like them better, but they are not my people. If you watch little kids draw who aren't copying somebody else, they'll have a very unique people. At some point we start trying to make our people look like other people's people and we can't- so we give up. It's just a theory of mine. I see it as a fingerprint, a signature - our own little people - sounds funny, I know but it's fun to play with. Some of us just can't give up.
I'm making chap-stiks, candles, air-fresheners, and filling tea orders today, along with all my other to-dos. I wanted to paint so that's why you're getting my little people -especially this one.

I like this painting. I'll have to think on your theory about everyone having their signature people.
OH MY! Was that a picture of ME?? Love it... Keep up the great work!
I like your little people - and I think your theory about how we grow up and try to make ours look like other people's and then we give up... very astute. I think that IS what happens to most of us. I'm glad you're still making yours - I'm trying to make mine.
i think we all need to learn to make our own....we can't really make anyone else's...it only an illusion if we think we can, don't you think?
interesting thoughts tonight...thanks!
I really like your little people - I like the simplicity of a line drawn pen and ink face. I have doodle people I've made since I was about 15. I call them Kimquats. I can NEVER draw other peoples people - it's wayyy too hard. I guess there's too many Kimquats waiting to get out.
I love the idea of dragging that old booty like this .... :)
I agree with your theory - growing up...and giving up our very own visions.
Glad you keep on going with your little people.
I love the messages they carry.
