The Nature of Fantasy
So, the title is pretty clear, but has a double meaning, if you did not notice yet. It both means the natural way the fantasy works, and also it shows a kind of fantasy nature. The theme or idea was in the Archimedes spiral, and making a fantasy or imaginative piece using this spiral constructed. The things that follow the spiral is the horn which is the main part, the kind of snail coming out of it, all the leaves that look like the one in the middle of the horn, and the butterfly. The lines of these follow the spiral, which I found very interesting to work with. I then wanted to put this into an even more organic environment, and made more leaves without rules, plants and so on. This is also the first whole piece I have completed with a medium I rarely use for artistic purposes: a biro! It was supposed to be finished before christmas, but as usual I spend too much time working.. You know me!

CommentsAbout how long did it take you to complete it, and how many pens did you use?
I love the detail. Well, I have no idea about the hours.. everything between 24 and 40? At least I worked on it for about a month. I used two pens, but they lost as much ink as less than what one would contain.. so...
 Glad you like it!--  IT HammarPersonal Website "Den som kommer først til mølla, får rent mel i både pose og sekk..." =MindOfLead *ThePencilClub *painters =the-surreal-arts this is such a great artwork...stunning work!
And all this detail...I wish I could nearly draw so perfect  -- Protest ist, wenn ich sage, das und das passt mir nicht. Widerstand ist, wenn ich dafür sorge, dass das, was mir nicht passt, nicht länger geschieht. (Ulrike Meinhof) a lot of nice value for using a ball point pen!
It's really amazing to see what wonderful artwork can be created with an everyday black bic ball point pen, really well done with this.

 -- dyslexic agnostic  dog, what do u think?I love this piece, the way it glows at the top and such detail, a wonderful job!
-- Please spay or neuter your pets!  Wonderful textures and tones and lines! A very moving piece of symbolism, I think. Nicely done.

It makes exactly the right ammount of sense! And looks like a flying snail. -- Yellow Scarf |
