Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Thirty: Worming
See T'Hed Twenty-Nine for more on this process... Hmmm... not sure what the director is thinking here, much less the protagonist... the title has my mind reading into giggly adolescent mischief, especially with the pink sky..

Working out an Inspiration – Twenty-Three: Better Colours
See T'Hed Twenty-Two for previous developments Following my realization that Crayola crayons deliver better and more vibrant colour values, I chose to push more pigment into the card stock paper.

working out an Inspiration – Part Twenty-Two: Perspectives
See previous reflections at T'Hed Twenty-One So, I seem to be drawn to multiple faces on each composition and I'm not sure why... Maybe fear that the composition is too weak if not more complex.
