they say the world is round







































I finished the drawing and I just hope that I don't scare you away with this one... I know it's a bit violent but at the same time: what can shock us these days? And that is a bit what I'm working on now. I take this figure of Pippi, and this time the younger, child version and not as in my paintings where I made her a grown-up. And I wonder: how much longer does it take before they take away our childhood heroes and make them also "bad", along with the rest of the world. And at the same time I wonder if the heroes maybe did'nt want to be heroes at all! I want to make at least 5 of these big drawings and all in the same style and theme. I find it a bit stange myself that I'm working on this now because I hate weapons. But I feel that I just have to finish them.

    wauw Celine, erg indrukwekkend, mooi contrast! Echt een prachtige tekening! Hij zou voor mij zo op de expo 'All About Drawing' kunnen (nu in Schiedam te zien) Daar waren ook confronterende beelden te zien. 'k Vind de compositie ook erg goed en echt heel mooi getekend!

    Das ist ein wirklich beeindruckendes Bild! Durch die Perspektive wirken die Hände so groß, dass sie nicht wirklich zu dem Mädchen zu gehören scheinen. Ein super Effekt. Toll!!!

    céline,
    I also hate guns but I admit that visually, I think they are elements "beautiful and strong" in a composition.
    This work is great! angle and the posture of Pippi are perfect!
    Be cool you do a series of them!
