there is a rather long, boring history behind this drawing. Every year for some time now I have shown drawings at a museum not far from here. Vina Cookes Museum of dolls and Bygone Childhood is a privately owned museum just outside Newark near Nottingham. Every year they have an open day and I usualy show some drawings. A couple of years ago, during a visit, we were walking through the gardens when noticed a dolls head on a window sill. They make their own porcelain head dolls and the mis-fires are sometimes put around the garden as plant holders or just suprise decorations. This head had gotten filled with earth and a ball of roots from a plant that hed grown inside. Then the face had cracked apart and some fallen away leaving the shape behind impressed on the debris inside. I thought this was a good idea for a drawing and this is what it came out like. The original is A3 ... large for me ... and too big for my scanner so I have had to make an A4 photo copy and scan that instead. It hasn't lost too much detail ... one of the benefits of working with pen and ink.
I don't think that is a boring story at all. I love the picture, as I do with all your stuff I watch. I myself am only up the road from Newark, in Lincoln. I hope one day to have such immense skill as yours!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
