Illustration Friday: Afterward


No matter how good or bad an experience you have, there is always an afterward, a time when it is just you, with your head, your thoughts, your emotions, and you will either celebrate or mourn; in either case, it will be a kind of let-down, because it's just the rest of your life, and though it may not seem like it at the time, it's just as real as what you're missing.

  3. hey so true, my favourite expression is that 'the joy is in the anticipation" (ie in the before)

    I like this black and white work, the compostion and lines are strong, the splatter effect, though it is self reflexive, also adds depth and character and interest. Self reflexive in that it draws attention to the surface and so denies the artifice of depth
