  2. This one scares me. Perhaps the dripping red.

  3. Thanks, CO.

    AH, interesting. The red and blue for me in this is more about warm and cool. (It's over 100 and humid, here; not a good combination, so temperature pervades everything.)

  4. the models look to be sweating it out too

    the combination of aqua and pink/red always reminds me of the 80's

  5. The 80's, yes, maybe that's what scares me.

    (Over a hundred and humid? ow. I must say, I've come back to look at your drawing several times. I did see the hot/cold reference, but also something more sinister -- the first thing that hit me was a morgue or murder. On the other hand, when one is sweltering, the body does sort of melt.)

  6. PA and AH, you are on to something: the 80s were scary.

    And PA, the models wasn't harmed in the making of this drawing. The studio was actually a comfortable temperature. Going outside, sadly, a different story.

  7. Maybe it;s the summer, but I think they look like they are cooling off on a block of ice.
