Here's a little bit of Halloween spirit, in the form of a spider named Caligula. Again, I wanted to try something more like a cartoon than realistic.
I love to color. It's a fact of life. Here in particular, I experimented with color combinations and possibilities within the medium (watercolor pencils).
I saw "The Shawshank Redemption" for the first time this weekend. It's a magnificent story, and brilliantly executed at that, but one thing that caught my attention was something that most film makers wouldn't attempt, or even think of. The entire story takes place over twenty years, but there are none of the usual devices to indicate the passage of time. No changing seasons or anything like that. The whole story flows seamlessly, giving a sense that though many of the inmates have been on the "inside" for decades, nothing really changes (Red sums this up by saying that "Prison life consists of routine. And then more routine."). This unconventional device is incredibly effective.
