April 17, 2008 : Pole Vault for Illustration Friday – Fail
April 17, 2008
{click for a larger image} 04/17/08. This piece made me happy to work on – I enjoyed it. I am also happy with the outcome. Hopefully I can get back to working like this regularly. So this is for the Illustration Friday theme of “fail”. This piece needs some explaining to make sense. When I saw the theme posted I thought it was dead on, since I have been feeling like a failure these past few weeks. Though I kept thinking about the subject and I kept thinking about how no matter how great you are at something there was a point where you probably failed at it. Each failure helped you improve and get better – so I wanted to create something that illustrates fail in a positive way.
6″x 4″ :: $150 framed original piece. Email for availability and payment directions or for more information – like larger and more detailed images.
I LOVE the detail of the show – its my favorite part!
Saturday is the Hyattsville Arts Festival and I will be making all the one-a-(week)day pieces available for sale. So if you have you eye on something, let me know.
Don’t forget, let me know what piece you would like to see on my next postcard – leave a comment!

Very nice take on the theme. I like how you let the cuts into the paper define the muscles. That’s a really subtle and clever way of doing that. The shoes are great too.
