IF: POEM.
For this week's Illustration Friday theme: Poem.
In middle school, I got hooked on Dorothy Parker. Something about her dark humor really caught my eye. My English teacher said that she knew I'd like Parker. I'm not really sure what that implied. Anyway, "I might as well live" comes from Parker's poem "Resume".
She's holding an empty bottle of poison because I can't draw a proper noose, apparently.

Lovely line quality. Your pen and ink work looks like punk Aubrey Beardsley. Nice!
ReplyDeleteGosh I think I already commented with your last IF entry about how I really enjoy the way you draw figures. There is definitely something vintage-y about them that I love. This is another great one!
