| "Crab cake" Prismacolor pencil on black A3 paper, 297 x 420 mm, (11.7 x 16.5 in) |
I had a thing for cakes for a while cheesecakes mostly. I don't know if it will hold up. But crabs and snails are holding on strong. I'm enjoying the crab, with its joints and shell and wet shine. I think crabs can be cute, but scary too like giant spiders. Something about the teacher in the movie "Storm Boy" (1976) where she freaks out and smashes a crab screaming with a cricket bat shocked me as a child. I do wish there were more crabs in the world and on land migrating through towns, stopping traffic. But that's the kind of guy I am, if there weren't any mice plagues going on I'd probably be fantasizing about that.
The girls face is happy, her tongue out. A basic portrait overall.
It will be a trilogy of cakes.
