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.

    You’ve done a beautiful job creating a sense of melancholy and loneliness here. I love the texture of the water.

    I love your combination of words and illustration. I love the composition and how the colors all create a beatiful, contemplative mood (I hope that makes sense). =) Also thank you for you nice comments.
