Okay mine does not quite compare with the orignal. But I was going for the difference years make. We wear more clothes now but we can still belt out tunes and dance. I found this image in a Vogue book and the article was about a graphic designer who made caracitures famous in 1930, very interesting. I thought hey I would love to do that in my art journal and hence here it is in all its glory. My face looks like a dogs breakfast it needed more work but I left it the way it was, its only my art journal its not like I was giving it to someone. I love smoky gold colours. I like New Orleans colour, I have never been there but I think the colour would be amazing. Okay there are some spelling mistakes here and blogger spell check for some reason is not working and I am way to lazy at 12:00 to look them up in the dictionary, so just pretend they are spelled correctly.

Hi Lee,
ReplyDeleteI love the colors as well and the contrast between then and now.

The colors are great. New Orleans has always held a fascination for me, too. I'm sure it's a riot of color....well, maybe not anymore. :-( This page has a lot of movement and makes me feel happy looking at it.

Lee, I love this!
