:: Inktober 31 Mask Theme ::

by Jane Hannah3 Comments on :: Inktober 31 Mask Theme ::

Here is a Haida Nation Mask, a native northwest coast people that live in the northern parts of British Columbia, Canada. I have always loved their masks and today I decided to draw one from a reference photo, in order to honour their art. For #Inktober no colours were added, even though their masks have red and gold in them…

:: Inktober 30 Found Theme ::

by Jane Hannah1 Comment on :: Inktober 30 Found Theme ::
And so it is that life begins.

A step into the crazy maze of life.
First a left and then a right,
We find ourselves at a dead end.
Back track our steps and begin again.
Twists and turns constantly taking our path,
Round and round in circles we go, 
Trying to find the right way.
Some spend their whole lives in the maze,
Some make it out.
I’m still fighting to find the right way in 
This maze of life.
— By Aly Bambi

Les chemins sont à faire jusqu’à ton coeur 
Je viendrai sous les traits du défricheur 
L’amour ne veut plus de tricheur 
Chérie, as-tu vu 
Le monde est absurde selon Camus 
Mais tes pouvoirs me prouvent qu’il ne l’est plus 
Le meilleur a devancé sa venue 
La méfiance est portée disparue
— Paroles de Tire Le Coyote

Tsé ! Moi, j’voudrais pas m’mêler de c’qui me r’garde pas…

I’vient un temps où, comm‘ tu sais, ben i faut qu’les choses se disent !
 
Ça fait que, ‘coute ben là : même si t’haïs ça, c’est ça qui est ça !
Va t’sé !

by Jane Hannah2 Comments on :: Inktober 26 Squeak Theme ::

     Hey there, Mr. Tin Man
You don’t know how lucky you are
You shouldn’t spend your whole life wishin’
For something bound to fall apart
     Everytime you’re feeling empty
Better thank your lucky stars
If you ever felt one breakin’
You’d never want a heart
— Miranda Lambert

“Our intelligence, however lucid,
cannot perceive the elements that compose it
and remain unsuspected.”

This inktober theme “blind” was the hardest for me….

(Sung by Munchkins)
Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow-brick road
Follow the yellow-brick, follow the yellow-brick
Follow the yellow-brick road

You’re off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz
You’ll find he is a Whiz of a Wiz is ever a Wiz there was
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was the Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
You’re off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
—  L. Frank Baum
