Well.
I’m finding it harder and harder to explain these images for Illustration Friday.
However, some possible explanations are:
+ I have mixed feeling about tattoos – I can appreciate them on other people, but would never want one myself;
+ I thought a love-heart was the obvious tattoo motif, but wanted to do something different … started thinking about some Pet Shop Boys lyrics “Violence. Religion. Justice. Death” (remembered wrong – see Paninaro) and decided they’d make good tattoos. Pseudo roses instead of hearts;
+ I’ve been wanting to try out black ink painting for a while;
+ I’ve been learning Hiragana (Japanese syllables);
+ I like the contrast of the flowing ink strokes and square-ish red texta;
+ breast-feeding makes you think about bosoms in non-sexual ways;
+ I’m female, so that was the natural body to draw.
Mood: Thanks so much for the comments on my previous Illustration Friday! ;D
