stuck in the mud

now here is a picture that is generally a bit kerfuddled. in one of the film adaptations of les miserables there is a little chimney sweep almost hidden behind the clutter of the tools he carries. I thought i'd draw a similar chimney sweep myself. the only problem is i couldn't really remember what said chimney sweep looked like, i definitely know mine is a more colourfully attired character.

i didn't feel especially like drawing them as a child so i added some clint eastwood eye wrinkling. then i decided that my character could probably pass for a woman. so i gave her a skirt. and the end reslut is a tad interetsing.

i also plan to move away from these melancholy pictures of jacketed people standing out in the void. somebody remind me to do some different stuff next time.

  1. This reminds me of Mary Leunig's work. She has a much darker take on life than her better known brother.
