The concept is just a little confusing, I am not 100% sure on what the purse has to do with adulthood, or at the very least when I look at the image I don't connect with the fact that it represents being an adult. and then the rabbit out of the hat makes me think of magicians, which aren't necessarily just for kids. It's a tough concept and an interesting image, bu it might raise too many questions. Also i wasn't sure about the length of the shadow.eamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968460314852750976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230006925127058466.post-11526712841506313392009-05-06T12:31:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:31:00.000-04:00it's a noble paradoxical statement, and a wonderfu...it's a noble paradoxical statement, and a wonderful way to capture such a difficult idea. i totally identify with you buddypw!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03971170382721575152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230006925127058466.post-80769216381380457082009-05-05T17:38:00.000-04:002009-05-05T17:38:00.000-04:00i don't think I would recommend the addition. It's...i don't think I would recommend the addition. It's difficult to tell what concept is behind the work, even when you know what the context is. I'm not sure how the rabbit-shadow idea relates to the article you described. And since the image itself isn't a strong stand alone picture, it might be best to just keep your book with the strongest work, and leave out the fence sitters.Tim Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465275344431681240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230006925127058466.post-28779143965101874662009-05-05T15:59:00.000-04:002009-05-05T15:59:00.000-04:00My initial reaction was that there's too much open...My initial reaction was that there's too much open space in the upper left, compositionally I thought it was a little awkward but the more I look at it the more I like it. I think the lack of texture in the yellow makes it different from the piecess you have posted on your portfolio, which is very cool by the way.minder.shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734513210696086540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230006925127058466.post-60887866010808552152009-05-05T09:29:00.000-04:002009-05-05T09:29:00.000-04:00I think it's pretty.
