Artist's Comments

NOTE: resubmitted as a better-photgraphed version

still life set up in school. it has a message...i think? muslin cloth + skeleton + american flag +basket = really cool title. anything else you want to pull out of it is purely up to you.

media:
2HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B Wash pencils
prismacolor colored pencils

18" x 24"; approx. 30 hours work

EDIT: WHOA. I guess people like this. Thanks to for the DD, and uhm...I feel special ^_^
Also, in response to a comment on the "ropes," which are actually braided straw in part of the basket: The photographic method I used for this was....sub par: I put it on a table, turned on an overhead light, and took a picture of it while standing on a chair. As a result, it's a little skewed (fixed marginally in Photoshop), and the bottom left portion has weird highlights going on because of the amount of graphite (pencil) in that corner. As a result, anything that looks silver there should probably be shaded or black. Goddamnit I need to get this photographed more clearly.

Hell in a Handbasket by ~flarion is a lovely example of a still life set-up that I just know people will misinterpret. Quite frankly, don't be silly, and just enjoy this piece! (Featured by `De-Profundis)

The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

All art is quite useless.

I know I've said this a billion times in your presence, but I want to make it official in an uneditable dA comment that I fucking love this.

Contractions make the apostrophe seem so much more philanthropic, as it uses its efforts to unite rather than to hoard.
