Great!!! Very unique style…

You do such beautiful work!!
BTW…I have to get this off my chest…every time I view your profile pic you remind me of the famous actor who plays in the recent spiderman movies. Gosh I can’t think of his name right now…but I swear you can be twins.
Ok…take care, lol.

Andy Mercer
I see a metaphor for the modelling world in this work.. all dressed up and showy but wretched inside.. starving away.. and gradually sinking as they try to keep up appearances ?
Paul Compton replied
Very clever interpretation Andy. Thank you for commenting.
Anastasiia Kuc...

unique!
SherryBrown
Her expression is wonderfully sad. Is she drowning in tears?
Paul Compton replied
I don’t know. There’s an accompanying piece to this which is a short animation I made in 2006 called Boy Drowning – he drowns in his own tears. Thank you for commenting Sherry.
aglaia b
this looks like the preliminary
drawings to a tim burton film. she looks so lovely just standing there, floating in all her glory by the moon!
love all the detailing too! ;-)
Catherine Crim...
fantastic..poor girl though =0(
AngelArtist
I really love this picture, but it makes me sad that she is Drowning, so maybe you could draw one just like her, only that she won;t be drowning!
Meg Keamy
i love it love the style and the colours! great work!
Emjie
Beautiful dress! It reminds me of those special tea cups that are covered in intricate detail and artwork. Overall the painting is heart breaking and beautiful. I had better keep an eye on your work.
dworsham
great colours and a magnificent piece of art
Sanne Thijs
so funny :D
do you know the movie “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” well your style of drawing and the theme reminds me of this movie.
great work!
Paul Compton replied
Thank you mimmam. As indicated on my profile page I’m a huge fan of the Lemony Snicket books so I really appreciate the comment. I didn’t think the movie really captured how fun the books are but it definitely looked fantastic : )
Sanne Thijs
well i still have to read the books, now i am going to do it for sure. ;-)
Simone Mitchell

i see shades of Edward Gorey in a lot of your work. Have you ever worked on any books?
Paul Compton replied
Yes, I love Edward Gorey. I write and illustrate my own one-off books. Thank you so much for commenting : )
Steven Novak
The detail on the girls dress is superb.
catblack
heh heh heh look how miserable she looks, is she a fashion victim?
Paul Compton replied
Yes, a fashion victim all dressed up and no place to go. Maybe she thinks the umbrella will save her from her fate. Thank you for commenting catblack : )
catblack

Kenny Gulley Jr.

Naomi Downie
its cool to be a fan of Odilon Redon, I have loved his work for years…this piece she has great diginity in her drowning and is very contained about it… great work
Paul Compton replied
I only discovered Redon about two years ago and have been avidly admiring his work ever since. Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and for taking the time to look at my work. Best wishes to you.

Exceptional work once again Paul…even without the words…your images have such strong story lines to them!!!

Thank you for all the support K. A picture is worth a thousand words sometimes ; )
Andy Mercer
If this image doesn’t get published and appear on the front of a book.. then I’ll eat my hat !
