Description
He's not swimming (as someone already assumed) but falling. Don't make him a role model, kids!Pffff....Getting drunk and jumping from....whatever (haven't thought of depths and heights and landscape)..... !
Acrylics on watercolor paper. Some paper tissue for the flying paper.
Used the word "paper" too often here.
Edit, March 2011:
In case there are people who believe blindly what I am writing in the decription and feel pressed to decline this picture in group galleries because of the depicton of severe violence: Actually this picture IS NOT about suicide - but in fact a kitten with a balloon, balancing on a fence. Don't be afraid, it won't fall. Never!

wauw the way u draw blood is extraordinary, how do u do it, i find it so hard to draw tht, but this looks real, love the colours and he does look like he's falling, i think my favourite parts are how u drew and painted his ravaged clothes and jeans

Thanks a lot! Actually it is supposed to be wine that should look a bit 'bloody'. But ultimately it's up to everyone's interpretation. So if you see blood that's totally fine (maybe it IS blood. Just because I've made it doesn't mean I know everything about it . "The death of the author, the birth of the reader".
)

Just in case you're interested: It's Roland Barthes - a bit cropped
...but still Barthes, somehow.

Very impressive, I really love the blood/wine at the back.
At first I didn't think he looked to bothered about falling but then I saw the tear in his eye.
Makes me wonder what is on the paper.
Very nice shading on the skin and trousers to.

Thanks!
I don't know what's n the paper. A letter probably, maybe notes on a thesis he has to write for a university course (I really really could understand THAT!). Shopping list.
...Probably a letter.

Sturz in die Unendlichkeit mit einer recht farb- und auch fleckenintensiven Flasche Wein und ein paar Gedichten(?) im Arm... Vielleicht trΓ€umt er ja auch nur, dass er fΓ€llt...
Sehr dynamisch, besonders durch den Hintergrund.
Zuerst hab ich die Weinflache fΓΌr ne Kerze gehalten, aus der Blut schieΓt.

Ich hatte letztens einen rubinroten Rotwein! Der war optisch hart am RosΓ© - schlimmst klischeehaft. Allerdings war der mies . Ein Fehlkauf. Ist im Kochtopf gelandet.
Hm... vielleicht ists auch ein unvollendeter Roman oder der Abschiedsbrief selbst. Vielleicht fΓ€llt er auch weich und alles ist gut? Wenns nicht weich da unten ist, MUSS er das trΓ€umen, sonst steht's schlecht um meinen 'OC'
Die TrΓ€nen sind jedenfalls nur Gegenwindaugenwasser. ^__^ Da bin ich mir ganz sicher.

Das ist ja ne coole Idee mit den Taschentuchfetzen. Der Wein sieht richtig stark aus! Sehr schΓΆnes Bild

Herzlichen Dank! ^__^ Die Fetzen waren mehr Bequemlichkeit als 'Idee'. Papier klebt sich leichter, als es sich malen lΓ€sst XD (man vergleiche: Papier unten und oben: Sieht total anders aus T-T)

i like the reference to spirited away the scene where the main character is falling and crying and it looks like her tears are jumping out of her eyes. it's nice

I haven't really thought about Chihiro, but you're right. I love the film and maybe it were those floating drops I had in mind when doing the waterdrops from the eyes and the wine drops.

Lol, I bet. It came out very impressively though. I hope looking back that you feel it was worth the effort.
