"She had a list of pet peeves. Despite her best intentions, whenever someone transgressed upon her sacred rules and codes of conduct, she became a real monster - one that foamed and frothed at the mouth as she detailed acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. No one dared make the same mistakes around her twice!"
Honestly, I wasn't quite moved by this week's Illustration Friday theme, Pet Peeves. Buried neck-deep in other projects, I kept waiting for inspiration to strike on this prompt but it never really did. Instead I'm using an older piece from a series of monster collages that I did. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but sometimes you feel it and sometimes you don't.
This is scary and disturbing. Especially the ear flaps. No me gusta! You know I only like friendly and pretty art.
ReplyDeleteScary but nice.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to stay on her good side! She's terrifying!
ReplyDeleteI would NOT want to cross her... but the image is intriguing. The wrinkles in the collage really add to the creepiness.
ReplyDeleteYep! I think she's pretty scary as well. I used to do an exercise that I encourage everyone to do. I call it, "The Most..." To sum it up, you write a list of adjectives. You then do a small body of work that epitomizes that you think MOST exemplifies that prompt. You make work that you think is the quintessential soul of the word.
ReplyDeleteYou learn a lot when your prompt is outside your comfort zone. Like, "The Most Ugly" or "The Most Scary". You also learn a lot about yourself when you set out to make "The Most Beautiful." It's a great way to temporarily and marginally categorize and quantify your archive of imagery and how it functions in your work.
