Umbrella ・ こいがさ

Koigasa 2013, Ink

Thinking back, this could possibly be my first drawing for 2013. It was a hectic year and I was never in the mood to sit down and doodle, even for an hour. I won't reflect on 2013 now; maybe in another post if I do decide to do it. I did a lot of stuff, and I didn't do a lot of stuff. Thankfully, I finally managed a visit to my friend Eileen's (which we had been discussing for a year) and if there was an inspiration behind why I felt like inking again, that was probably it! Future post on Eileen's amazing art to come.

Concept: I love the strange, wonderful, bizarre, peculiar, fantastical. Even my sleeping dreams are very Cirque-du-Soleil, especially as of late. One of the books that I always remembered from when I was young was Mirette on the Highwire. This is all somehow related to umbrellas in my brain. I have wanted to do the umbrella for a few years now (procrastination is an art).
