So suddenly I am illustrating again, it's simple and nice and now that I'm done with this little project, I realize that I missed it alot.Just to tell you a little bit about the project:
The first great-grandchild of our family has been born a while ago, I already had a feeling that is was going to be a boy so as soon as I found out that the mom was pregnant, I began sowing. When the little hat was done I wanted to ad something to it to show the two different ways I looked at it so automatically i started painting.
The little set was done just in time!
The set contains a little cotton baby hat, which has the shape of a paper hat, or maybe a boat, that depends on the way you look at it. It has a nice paper like texture, colour and fibre. You can find a blue/grey ribbon on the bottom of the hat, attached to make it look like a little wave underneath a boat.
So when the hat became a little boat, the desire to make a illustration with it became bigger. After quit a few drawings and paintings, the idea of the little kid with a backpack holding two kites in the air was formed. The kites became boats, the paper one for his childhood and the submarine (probably inspired by a uncle of mine) for his future. Meanwhile the sky became sea..
In the end the little set turned out quit nice, it suites my idea around new life and the way people hold there own lives,
