This reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, perhaps changing into an Octopus? Really lovely work :-)

Interesting whats your story with this pic?
mikoto
You should have a story. Think about the art the you are truly drawn to, you want to know more, it gives the work added depth.
Mel Brackstone

It doesn’t really need explanation … does it? I think it’s a really powerful statement about cruelty and prejudice and I am drawn to its emotion – loneliness, isolation. She plays alone and she looks so sad. The octopus arm as a deformity works really well – it’s a ‘strangeness’ about the little girl which could just as easily not be strange – but kids can find weakness no matter how easy or hard it is to see. I agree with Jennifer – it’s very Alice-ish.
Sorry to rant, I just see so much here and I guess I relate a bit. Very nice work TBO.
Anne van Alkemade
Sorry, badly worded. I don’t mean deformity is a weakness, but simply something that kids can identify as sensitivity.

I just realised what you did here
I’m not that quick
Very , very subtle
You’re very clever
Lucan would be very proud… now if we could only get the rebellious turd to enter his own competition.

Coralie Casey
Wow, she’s off in her own world because no one will play with her….because she’s “different”. Very powerful image.
