illustration friday: glamour
Despite all of the marvelous things that could be (and are being) done with modern glamour this week, I chose to go with the archaic usage of the word, as in a type of fairy spell. This is a hand-colored photo collage. It is also doubling as a Self Portrait Tuesday post, that's me asleep in the glade (with a little Elphaba action on the skin). What does this have to do with personal history? Well, I've always thought of myself as being a bit on the fey side.
This is beautiful!! Great drawing!

Wonderful illustration. I didn't even see the girl laying there until you pointed her out; which makes it even better.

Well, there are worse things than channeling Elphaba. Love Wicked and this piece!

This is a lovely illustration. Mysterious. I just learned today the alternate meaning of glamour and used it for my submission too!
