3. a little bit waspy


My first post of 2011 (Happy Nearly New Year!), and my first post on a little bit bunny since we made it public on Christmas Eve. This month's unfortunate creature is the bane of many a picnic and barbecue, the cantankerous wasp. I wanted to turn the 'concept' of the wasp on its head somehow. So my thought process looped and spiralled around the idea of drawing the wasp as a happy chappy. First on a scooter (a Vespa of course), then as a content Buddha. But in the end the spiky character of the wasp was too strong to ignore. That's when the I moved onto the idea of having a wasp being assaulted by little flying humans, a modest attempt at getting my own back on buzzy little picnic crashers. I was going to recreate Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe with wasps as the picnickers, but something about the lazy feeling of the painting, again went against the natural character of the wasp. You can see my finished piece here.

Apparently both Matt and Kev thought about using the cheeky little Vespa as a prop. I'm glad they decided against it, because as we all know, variety is the spice of life, and the three offerings to albb this month are all very different in flavour.

4. Follow your nose...



A long while ago Matt nominated the most colourful of mammals, the mandrill, as the next in line for anatomical tampering, and here's my response to his challenge. I went through a few ideas for this one, and I was even planning at one stage to just draw a man with a drill (feel free to groan). But then the beetle like nature of the mandrill's nose took hold of my thought process, and the above image is the result.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Matt and Kev come up with for this already quite twisted creature, and for the next unlucky animal to be twisted by our fevered imaginations I'm going to the other end of the bizarre scale and I'm going to suggest the common pigeon.
