inspiration

i went to the ocean grove market the other day. it was soooo cool there!!! i really recomend people go. especially people who are interested in like arts and crafts and stuff. there are alot of people there doing their own sing and trying to put themselves out there and they're really talented. there were heaps of cool stalls, and i bought this ring at one.

i love it cos of the little hands. it reminded me of fern gully, the last rainforest. u know that kiddies movie where they chop down the trees? well you know the old lady... magi, she is like the protector of the forest, well at the end of the film she gives Crysta (the main fairy) a seed and puts it in her hands and clamps them together. then she says "help it grow" and the speed sprouts and yep, thats like LIFE growing out of a seed!!! it spreads itself everywhere and it replaces all the destruction and death that human impact on the land. well the new life makes it way up through this twisted old tree and i tried to find a picutre on the net of it, but i can't, but its some really really really good imagery.
so i remembered that picture in my mind when i saw the ring and got this idea of like... the rebirth of life and stuff u know? coming togther and stuff. and i also remembered this picture i collected once.


i really dig this picture too. so i thought, u know, combining all those ideas, i could really come up with something, so ehre's my rough sketch.

i'm gonna do it again, but better obviously. but blogging my processes is a good way to get it down, and into ur head, u know. like a draft. if any of u guys have pictures or ideas that you think would make it even cooler let me know!!! catcha later and i'll post the good copy when its done. cya!

All I remember about Furn Gully is you singing that song to the lamp when we stayed at that house in Halls Gap! HAHAHA!

Cool drawing - looking forward to seeing it 'grow' and 'come to life'!
