235 - ONCE IN A BLUE MOON - DAVE EDWARDS - COLOURED PENCIL & INK - 2008
Catherine Walker suggested I paint directly from my imagination, so I have done a couple in a style similar to one I drew with a couple of decades ago, with a few of my more recent quirks for good measure :) This is the second one.

I’ll wait till you explain

“Mr Moon” (I actually had a friend once called Mr Moon) is one of those strict bosses and he is making sure everything is in order. He has a fat face and a grumpy “I’m a busy man” expression … a little like Captain Mainwaring of Dad’s Army fame I suppose. I sort of drew him looking unhappy to tease you I suppose. If you hadn’t called my work creepy I might have given him a sweet little smile … but you’ll never know now, will you? :)
I drew him as a person first and then decided to change his body to a skyscraper and his arms to angels. Whimsical … that’s me :) The buildings have come to life and taken on the shapes of people … something that happens … well … once in a blue moon … haha! It’s all a bit of fun really … well, we need a laugh now and again.

OK ..I got all of that ..well done !! ..and not even too creepy this time..!!!

Darn it! I’ll have to try harder next time if I want to freak you out. Trish has suggested I try to illustrate a poem or a story or a song. How would you like me to illustrate a verse from John Lennon’s lovely song (I Am The Walrus): .. “yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye”? Hmmm … I wonder if anyone HAS illustrated that line :))

You do live in a world of your own Dave; and such a creative world. You’re imagination knows no bounds.
BLYTHART replied
If I had a pound for every time Trish has said I live in a world of my own … I usually go there when the housework needs doing :)

BLYTHART replied
Every now and then I go off at a tangent and let my imagination go wild and whimsical and this is the sort of stuff it produces. Thanks for your nice comment; much appreciated.
