Description [Expense Account]

Shadows of winter sun
Speckle my resolutely blank paper-
Warm gray reassurances of
Inevitable inky release.

The visual accounting for the price of
Being a lover one time too many.

glad i saw this. fine work. 'they' may 'walk away' but they sure leave long shadows, eh? it hardly matters 'who' the love is, was, wasn't, or may be. well-done on many levels. fire and ice.

this is pretty darn amazin i love the figure an the graphic style outlining of the shape, the paint (if it is paint) splashes give a really natural feel that kinda half reminds me of so many graphic desings, the font 4 the writing fits so well an the words .. well i think we all read them ... great work most def a fav

this is gorgeous
it's expressive and active, yet still holds it's refined qualities, thanks to your work in ps i presume. have you seen any work by ralph steadmann? he's got a website, i'm guessing [link] . he often combines pictures, words and expressive ink/paint in a simular way.

I hadn't actually... thanks for pointing me in that direction.
I've spent a good part of the morning looking him up and...so...far... I'm enjoying it. Very quirky.

I'll always wonder how you make those lines look so great!

Do you use a tablet, mouse, illustrator vectors? Just wondering

Great job between, I love the concept! Orange makes it wharm, white makes it cold, kind of fight between the 2, I like that.

As I see it (or as I like to imaginate it) the sun goes up and bring shadows which turns into ink and then words, sentences and gives a poem, but that's just how I see it

Seeya!

the lines are my doodles... am saving up for a tablet and should have one soon!
you got it... the shadows are all the people we allow into our lives for various reasons and the price we pay for doing that. And i love your description way more than my own lines...seriously!

you're being very secretive(...hands in the pocket...)

haha.

I dont know if its really supposed to be amusing, but it most definitely is. maybe just because I can relate?

I can just imagine my bank statement, all the dinners bought, drinks purchased, hotel rooms, maybe airplane tickets.

ouch.
