  2. Poor? Maybe that's an inside joke or something? The bottle coloring looks so perfect - and the cork, too! What did you do this with? colored pencil??

  4. Josie: I think "poor" is a translation--from Spanish--and I am thinking it's slang for something that's off-beat? Just guessing.
    Also...yes, did it with colored pencil and a little pen & ink--added the shadow digitally.
    Thanks for your comment! Heather, too.

  7. Such a clever play on words, and the rendering of the glass and cork are spot on!

  8. I like it,often when I text my kids it is like sending a message in a bottle cause if I don't get a reply I wonder did they get it? If I sent it with a messenger I'd be sure of it's delivery. Nice one.

  9. I can see a beach littered by these little bottles, lost messages from our world of "I message, therefore I am." I like your entry very much! It has a lot of emotion.

  10. Definitely poor little thing! (or simply "pobre" in Spanish:) It's fabulous, but even though I'm not particularly claustrophofic, I'm starting to panic just by looking at it ... great illo!
