an open letter
Hey kids,Since Wasserman (myheartismadeofgravy) was kind enough to use my theme this week, I just wanted to post a quick note about the illo's that came in, which I thought were great, and say thank you to everyone who contributed. I suspect things will thin out a bit here as summer closes in on us (and the fun police force us outdoors) but I hope this site keeps a steady heartbeat because it's a necessary alternative to the pap we've been served by Illustration Friday lately.
Oh, and if you'd like to see some hilariously righteous indignation about that, click here and scroll to the last two comments.
Be good,
red-handed

Prohibido suicidarse en primavera (prohibited to commit suicide in spring)
Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona (March 3, 1903 – September 17, 1965) was a Spanish poet and playwright born in Besullo, Spain, a member of the Generation of '27. Casona received his bachillerato in Gijon and later studied at Universidad de Murcia. After Franco's rise in 1936, he was forced, like many Spanish intellectuals, to leave Spain. He lived the rest of his life in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Everything what can be said of this work would be short, is with the
work preferred by the public of Alejandro Casona.This work is like a mystery novel, open many incognitos to the reader,that it is perplex for some of the behaviors of the characters, and as the work is developed we go of surprise in surprise, because nothing is what it seems at first, and even the own end, is something unexpected.

The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli
14x14 inches, mixed media on canvas. By trying to give his prince some hard advice, Machiavelli managed to describe real power as a faithless place of grim, bloody cunning. Come on, who wouldn't take fear over love? Anyway, this is a great bedtime book for preschool kids. IFN: a book I'll always remember
The Hucho Hucho Girl by ksklein
IFN: a book I'll always remember
The stories I used to devour as a child were Asian tales. They were mainly Indian and Chinese. This picture was inspired by the illustrations done by Irmhild and Hilmar Proft for the book "Die neunköpfigen Ungeheuer vom Zweidrachenberg".
The illustration was beautiful in black and white. But I wanted to color it, as the story is about the Hucho hucho (redfish) girl. Somehow the color really took away a lot from the original pic.

"We're taken to a place with no roots. The house
was red brick, divided into one, two, three living
quarters. Across the street is an abandoned build-
ing. I am already a morbid child and wish it were
a mausoleum, a place for me to sleep, among rich
ancestry and traditions that glow particularly
romantic."

A Prayer To Owen Meany
IFN: a book I'll always remember
This is simply my all time favourite book. And I even had the chance to tell the author that when I was taking his picture in Glasgow. Weird moment. But the guy was great and I ended up getting a better portrait after embarassing myself.

[paradise lost]
"Farewell happy Fields Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrors, hail Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n."
Milton
