Illustration Friday | “Modify”
For Illustration Friday, The word was “Modify.”
The inspiration for this piece >>
| “At one time we have directed it to the statuesque and aristocratic type of beauty, mixing men’s vanity with their desires and encouraging the race to breed chiefly from the most arrogant and prodigal women. At another, we have selected an exaggeratedly feminine type, faint and languishing, so that folly and cowardice, and all the general falseness and littleness of mind which go with them, shall be at a premium. At present we are on the opposite track. The age of jazz has succeeded the age of the waltz, and we now teach men to like women whose bodies are scarcely distinguishable from those of boys. Since this is a kind of beauty even more transitory than most, we thus aggravate the female’s chronic horror of growing old (with many excellent results) and render her less willing and less able to bear children…” - C. S. Lewis, 1942 The Screwtape Letters |

“When the eternal element in love becomes an object of derision, the temporal element alone is left.”
- Søren Kierkegaard On a lighter note, I can see a little William Pene du Bois influence on the style…

Illustration Friday | “Worn”
This is my drawing for Illustration Friday. I actually did not do this specifically for IF, like the other IF posts here on my blog, but I thought it really applied to the piece here.
It is from a Graphic Novel that I am illustrating, written by Bob Hitching, which will be used to improve literacy for Roma in Central Europe.
