Love your illustration! Creepy and cute all at once!
I'm glad about you're back, and to see your words in my blog.I remembered you :) this week was special for your escarabajos... And in the end they are there with you, so yours, so fresh and original as always!
tres amusant.
Au revoir,
Neil
it is like living in a capsule! perfect!!! we missed you!
I love how you can turn something rather creepy into a apparently everyday situation. Somehow, this looks like a perfectly normal family...must be the facial expressions! Well done:>
Aw HA! You fooled us, you did not go away. So glad you came back. Now what about "tatoo"?
a.
P.S Edvard Munch? Hmmmmm, perhaps. The review by Cube is a silly thing a fellow blogger sent me about my work.
buenisimo!!!!
y menos mal que esos bichos estan guardados en frascos!!
saludos!
My vacation was far too short! Thanks for greeting me back, everyone :) I still have loads of work to do, but I noticed how I missed blogging and looking at everyone´s work (already after a week, tsss). That week´s topic of course required my attention.
Tattoo will be a hard one, Andrea. Thee Beetles don´t have much arms and legs (and behind?) to be tattooed on. Sometimes a theme blog is restricting, but than again, existing borders give you an opportunity to think harder. And a PS from me, too, Andrea, I suddenly thought a Van Gogh with a feminine touch perhaps could be a Munch, otherwise I totally like what the Cube wrote. Heck, I might even write my own review based on that! But of course, I am not a well known art critique...
Maria Ines, hihi, yes, definately, they better stay locked away!
thanx for your comment...little time but great post. I really enjoy your humour!
:)
Love this one!
I'm glad to se you back Cristosova..I'm also back again..not too often...but glad.*~*
Love this is GREAT!
Ay, with sweet comments like this, who needs vacations anyway?
i'm late late late, we're into tattoo-week now, but I have to pop in and say hurrah for your insect family in jars! Rather too much metamorphasising has been going on...
