You remind me of the babe....

Sometimes things are said out loud, an opinion, that when thought seemed to be the truest thing in the world but when said provokes so much disagreement and rage in others that fights begin, wars are raged, seas boil and people die. I am of course referring to the statement once muttered that "David Bowie's best work was in the Jim Henson movie: LABYRINTH"
I don't remember who first uttered this notion, they are probably dead now, the stuff of myth and legend. The movie Labyrinth and its characters was the inspiration for a new set of paper art pieces I have been working on though. Here are the first three in the series - Ludo, Hoggle and Sir Diddymus and Ambrosius




















All three of these pieces as well as some smaller Ludo cards will be at the Saint Paul Art crawl this month, October, on the 8th, 9th and 10th. 2nd floor of the Rossmor building (500 North Robert Street, bound by 10th Street and 9th Street, next to and above Key's cafe)

You have no power over me!

Illustration Friday - Adrift

Ideas I wish I had first:

1. E-bay and/or Facebook (I don't mind either)
2. Peanut butter and jelly (jam) sandwiches.
3. The word "Shenanigans".
4. The Dolly Parton song "Working 9 to 5"
5. David Bowie.
6. Teenage mutant ninja turtles.
7. Gummie bears.
8. Illustration Friday.

This weeks I.F topic is "Adrift". My original idea was to have a lot of empty space and one little character. The first thing I did was of a little spaceman cut off from anything. I still plan on doing this but on a bigger scale. My end piece was cobbled together from a bunch of ideas I already had for other work and from suggested title. I didn't always have a cannibalistic theme to it........thats the third time I've used that sentence this week. Please send help...or groceries.
