i make up stories with photos and with this one it says to me...a dress who has been neglected. the plan was to wear it but something happened, something unpleasant and she ended up staying home and forgot to put the dress back.

That was very nice of you to say that especially since my earliest day of drawing it has always been important to vary from what was done before.But really it is a magical spiritual thing I think, the subject combined with the mood and any other requirements,i.e. if it a commission and or there is a specific deadline involved.They all go into the mix.And by the way the versions you see here often weren,t the first.I"m a glutton for self punishment it would seem.

Yeah. I went to Jacksonville State University. But now I live in Tallassee, which is in between Montgomery and Auburn. A sad little town really...but I work a lot and love my job!

I love the variance in color and color choice with the subject. I also love the pulpy look of the mannequin.
