I love this illustration-will he ever get them out of the jar I wonder?!
What a great idea!
I was wondering where to keep my words...
so thats what happens to all the daylight during winter
Good idea! Love the little hairs on his shirt and the jar design!
This is so beautiful! Anthony's face, the pattern of the jar! I'm amazed!
But I must warn Anthony about something I learned in my own relationship with words - we treasure them, we take good care of them, we even collect them in the most wonderful recipients while we wait for some inspiration to create a text. But... Roland Barthes taught me (and he was absolutely right) that we only organize ourselves USING the language. Which means - the words have to be in constant movement and this is something we only achieve by actually saying or writting them.
Oh God, that's me again, going on and on in long comments...
Dark, dark! The horror of darkness, like a shroud, wraps me and bears me on through mist and cloud.
Sophocles - Oedipus Rex.
Cláudia -Anthony is far (far!) from being a role model.
Anthony opens his words´jar: is he telling them to come out or are they speaking too loudly, trying to go around by themselves? and if so, is he waiting for "the" moment to let them out? saved words are silent and quiet? saved words are just letters gathered by chance untill someone uses them with a determined purpose? And so on... your illustration shoots many questions! The drawing is great.
I like the idea of saving words in a jar;)
yes, Susan, you're right. I was looking to Anthony's face and features again... well, he is kinda dark isn't he? I had not noticed the "little hairs on his shirt" before I wrote my comment... it's good to check your readers' comments to get a better picture of the images. It has been a pleasure to read you and your followers!
