She Has No Time

Another drawing based on a song on my iPod. I'm not quite sure I like it, and I'm not quite sure I'm done with it, but I suspect I need to quit messing with it for now!



From Keane's "She Has No Time"

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Birdhouse In Your Soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

-They Might Be Giants

Seeing Things

Okay. Because everybody has been asking...
Wait, what? What do you mean only one person asked? I'll have you know that Unmitigated qualifies as "everybody", as far as I'm concerned.

A-a-a n y w a y... since someone asked, here's my process on the tile picture.

Colors are not great because I had to take pictures with my cell phone (as if it wasn't odd enough to take my phone into the bathroom, it would have been really weird if they had seen me take a camera in there!)
(Of course, they all think I'm weird, anyway, so...)

So - I saw this tile and my crazy artist's brain interpreted the random pattern as a figure.


I know, you're sitting there looking at the tile, going "Wha...?"

So here's another picture:

See him?
No?
Okay, how 'bout now?


So I did a loose sketch and then away I went:

Mine

Do you ever look at ceiling tiles or floor tiles, or anything else that has a texture, and see a picture in the pattern? Like a face, or an animal or Michael Jackson, the Virgin Mary or something?
If you have, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you think I'm nuts, and I'm fine with that, too.

I see pictures in and on stuff all the time. Usually faces. And last week I saw a picture in the bathroom tile at work. I couldn't get the image out of my mind, so I drew a picture of my own, based on the tile pattern - more or less.

"Mine"

It's different from my usual stuff, but I kinda like it. Maybe I need to spend more time in the bathroom at work...
