This is a drawing that I may revisit. It didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. As you might be able to tell by the title's hint, it was inspired by a pair of scissors. It evolved into a squid-like creature.
seeeeeeeee... ci manca una cosa tronca! cioè una cosa che le forbici hanno tagliato... cosa sarà? una schifezza o un qualcosa positivo? ottimo disegno!!!!
@hanna Grazie ... and yes, I'm working up to doing the design for your cover. I'll work on what's to be cut next :).
@jena Thanks ... I hope not too intimidating.
@ZZ I'm glad you like it. I think the ambiguity of the drawings make them a bit more interactive ... forcing the viewer to define them ... or at least I hope so.
That is the real essence of a work of art: that each "reader" or "receiver" brings his own perception into the interpretation of the piece. It is a fusion between the reader's and the artist's concept of the piece.
@jena Thanks ... I agree completely. I consider others' interpretations of what it is equally as valid as my own. And I often see things in it after the fact that I never expected to create.
@dale It's definitely more fun when there are multiple interpretations. What I meant be "revisit" is that I may try to try to draw it in a different way. Hanna asked me to draw something with a pair of scissors, so I'm testing out some ideas.
@shinade Thanks! Someone else compared my drawings to O'Keefe, which is interesting because I don't know that much about her work.
@claire It's no scallop man, but it'll do as a squid :). I'm waiting anxiously for your next doodle, although I love the hen party pics.
Perhaps this may sound strange, but immediately I thought of Salvador Dali's work with a twist! A little like zooming in to some small part of his work and enlarging it! Giving it a whole new perspective!

I thought it was a stag's horn. It still looks intimidating and cool though.
I like the way you draw. It draws me in to it.
Good stuff.

Well done Francis.
Francis,
I wouldn't redo it. It came out this way for a reason. When I saw I immediately thought of a dual trunked alien.
Part of the appeal of this one is the many different interpretations.
oops, don't know what happened on the past comment ... I think the cat walking across the keyboard caused it to post prematurely :-)
Reminds me of O'Keefe's stdy of the Skull.....probably the wrong name of the painting.
But, please don't tell my art history professor..okay?
Looks finished to me....but, then again I never think anything that I do is ever finished either.
Once again Bravo Francis!!:-)
Its a nice squid creature though :)

I am working on a doodle for someone else at the moment so that should appear soon (ish).
Yes the hen party pics have proved popular, I wonder why? heh.

Utterly fascinating!

Thanks Gemma. I think there's definitely a Dali influence in what I do. And I like your description of the zoomed in effect.
