It's Saturday night... I really didn't feel like working on my continuous projects, so I decided to take a break and try something new. The message in this piece might be a bit lost, but I was kind of excited to use pink this time. I was thinking of all these modern inventions that bring us closer together, but distance us so much more. Instead of feeling flesh and sharing conversation, we sometimes prefer taking a look through pictures or a listen to sound waves over a phone. Ok... I have had wine tonight, but not that much! Seriously, think about it. My brother and some friends used to have weekends in New Hampshire together where we would turn off all lights, tele, phones and force ourselves to have Puritan night. Some of my best memories still are those nights where we shared company and conversation without any texting, photos, blogs, internet, phones, anything... I often miss New Hampshire.

I really like it, it is not off track at all! I love the colours too. That is exactly how my Saturday night was, creating.
Anyone else see the irony in lovely Kelly making this argument on her internet blog?

"Sometimes Irony can be pretty ironic."
I love your illustration. Very ambiguous... a sweet and poetic atmosphere for a message full of regrets. I like this way of thinking.
Wonderful piece! I love your linework and subtle colors. Very creative in it's simplicity. The characters are just gorgeous.
Your invention is spectacular! I like the way your mind seems to have one hand in the past and one in the present. Totally cool!!!!
great looking illoo and comments, lov the bkgd
I love the historical aspect, the richness of the background, the lines, the composition, the colors, and most of all your story. What a special memory to have.
sassy! just love it
The smaller the world gets, the greater the distance between people becomes. Or something like that. Anyway, nicely crafted illustration.
waaao great style!
beautiful finish work!!
very nice! the pink is lovely!
wonderful, the top illo's background is great! nice work!
Very nice! good point, too
Beautiful work! Love the style and textures...and pink is good too. I agree with you. We live in such a "connected" world that we don't make real connections. I see so many people calling or text messengering someone just down the street...whatever happened to walking up to someone and just conversing face to face?
Beautiful - captures the theme to a T.
Man, "Puritan night," sounds awesome. I want one!
