Someday

Posted in Dark, Illustration Friday, Inspire Me Thursday by johanna on May 26, 2008

We’re all falling. This hand here is falling.
And look at the other one. It’s in them all.

And yet there is someone, whose hands,
infinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

- Rainer Maria Rilke

Inspire Me Thursday – Crayons
.
When I saw this week’s Inspire Me Thursday prompt I couldn’t help smiling. I had a lot of happy memories with crayons when I was little. I dug up my old grade school crayons and brought them to the studio. There were many broken pieces and a lot of colors were missing but some old favorites were still there – salmon, periwinkle, goldenrod and bittersweet.  I felt like a kid again :-)

Strange Things

Posted in Doodles, Illustration Friday by johanna on May 2, 2008

He often wondered where the strange things came from
And in his heart, the longing to see what it was like across the ocean grew
- if they sang when the moon was full, if they danced when it rained,
if there was anybody there who was just like him.
