  6. There is something about the eyes. How the top ones are wider, of course they are because the lower face is narrower. But they also look out a bit. It makes a fascinating face (faces?).

  10. Elizabeth, I'm a little scared of you after seeing this illo. Beautifully executed.

  11. Oh, I wouldn't call this an imperfection, rather a superfection-- how handy to have extra eyes for when the first pair is tired! Though the extra nose would be unpleasant when one had a cold.

  13. An expression of - form, consciousness, feeling, thought and choice – summed up as ‘The Duality of Man’ here perhaps? Very Zen Buddhist of you ‘E’…

    Make some time to sit on the mat, and have a Karma weekend. P.

  14. I love it! Jane and Lance Hattat (who I suspect of being double headed) said it perfectly - "are two heads better than one?" I know that "we" think so!=D Don't you just love it when a single (one) person uses "we"?=]

    This reminds me of Maurice Sendak. Either that or the Muppets and "I've got you under my skin".

    Intriguing!

  25. We spend so much time looking at faces and looking for intent/ thought/ meaning in them, that when your drawing comes up, it makes a mental tangle, have to sort out all our responses. Great drawing.
