215 - PLANTPOT HEADS II - DAVE EDWARDS - INK & WATERCOLOUR - 2008
I did a drawing called Plantpot Heads back in 1984 and recently decided to base a coloured version on it. Here is the original:
The original version was A4 sized and the new one is twice the size (A3). I’d drawn the squared background when I suddenly realised I had to colour in almost 1,000 squares … never again :))

I wonder what they are talking about?
BLYTHART replied
One is saying to the other, “instead of planting yourself here all the time, you should try getting out more often; you’re starting to vegetate”.

This is funny =) =) =) I like it. Why is it disturbing? Actually—I had something similar to that same idea myself a long time ago, but I never got around to drawing it…

Well, I didn’t think of faces for plant pots…just faces for plant pods.
