Description If only we could actually have a problem like this instead of making the mess ourselves?

This is a promo for an artbook that I'm going to try to put together for the end of the year. The theme is Little Women/Big Talent. In the next coming weeks I'm going to be asking the amazing women of DA if they'd like to see themselves as a Little Muse slinging ink, taking photos, posing with pencils, working the Wacom, or just anything of their choosing. Hopefully I can get enough volunteers to fill the whole book.

This was done with HB lead on board, inked with Microns ranging from .005 to the .08, brush and my thumbprint. Colors provided by Prismacolor makers of some damn fine markers! A little dab of watercolor for the background and we're done!

Well, when you're that size even the most mundane of tasks can become a chore of gargantuan proportions.

Where can I find MINI MUSES? Your link in the comments to lulu seems to be broken.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize there were still links up for it but I guess I missed a few. I do limited runs on my sketch and art books and MUSES has been sold out and out of print for a while now. Only way to get a copy is to find someone willing to part with one.

I was thinking of doing another one not too long ago since response to the first book was actually surprisingly good, but lack of free time to pursue personal projects has kept me from giving it more thought.

...this is similar to a picture I did last summer, only a little guy was tracking through black paint as my friend Ria looked on in horror (yours is better!). I'd love to see lots more little women pictures...they're fantastic! Good stuff!

Hey Alain, thanks!

I know it's a little late but I just saw a bunch of comments I missed on this piece for some reason.

Thanks for the props on her make-shift clothes and of course redhead for the win!

Dualmask [2008-07-08 17:11:11 +0000 UTC]

That sounds like a remarkable idea. It's a recurring theme you've been doing off and on for a while, so a whole book about it only makes sense. I've always enjoyed your 'little women' images.

stalk In reply to Dualmask [2008-07-08 21:25:16 +0000 UTC]

I was surprised at the how much of an impact this type of drawing had and glad because that means I get to try and make a whole book outta this nutty and surreal imagery.

Very nice piece and quite inspiring. I may have to do up a pic of my muse. Assuming she'll hold still long enough.

I'm just wondering how yours got the thumbprint on her thigh.

Draw up that Muse quick for us to see! As for the thumbprint see Maudy's comment for the answer!

Gunmetalblack [2008-07-06 01:19:44 +0000 UTC]

Man this is some inspired work. I like the concept and the execution--the tiny ink footprints are, I think, an especially good touch, as is the button holding up her swimsuit. Excellent work! I'd really like to see this series happen!
